In the earliest hours of the morning, the sun rises through the darkness. Another day is upon us.
Every morning, I am up before the sun, the most peaceful moments before the dawn breaks, in silence I sit watching over the valley.
Every morning, I am graced with a beautiful sunrise. This morning's one came through the clouds and it reminded me of something.
No matter what is happening during the day, no matter what I am feeling or going through. No matter what life is throwing me at every moment, the sun will always rise.
This morning, as a sat watching it come through the clouds, I noticed the silhouettes... The clouds in their rampant darkness, a foreboding of rain. They tumbled and moved along the horizon and still the sunrise shone through. It's brightness shining above the clouds, an ever present reminder that the light will always triumph over the dark. A wink to me, reminding me to keep going.
I was inspired by God's word this morning, his message clearly woven within his sky painting.
1 Corinthians 7:17
"only as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each in this manner, let him walk and live"
This message translates to "Live in the manner which you were called to live, in the season you were meant to live in"
Every morning, that sun rises, whether we see it's rays or simply notice the light behind the clouds - it is there. Every single moment in our lives, we are called to live in the manner we need to live, in the season we are in. Whether it is thunderous and stormy, or brightly coloured clear skies. We are meant to live the life we need to live in each moment. Take notice of the season you are in, notice the changes in the season around you. Other people might be going through their summer and it feels like you're constantly in winter. You see their radiant smiles and celebrations and feel lost sitting in your isolation and quiet contemplation.
Know that every season moves on, just as the sun rises every single day. Your sun will rise every day too, for you are a child of God, blessed by him to be in the exact season meant for you.
Live each moment, watching the horizon and seeing the Light triumph over the clouds
