Sun Rise

Have you ever taken the time to watch the sun rise? It is beautiful, calming and a feeling of no pressure. 

Lock your eyes to it as it rises and you will see the sun move slowly into the morning  to your side of the world. 

You will see the work of God showing through that natural sun rise scenery.

 It takes time for the sun to come out fully by day break, but by the time it is mid morning it is too bright you can't look at it closely.

So is our walk, and Solomon described it well again in Proverbs 4:18

“The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of the day.”

We strive daily to reach that goal of a Christlike being. Each day we wake up we face many challenges, choices and decisions either to draw us closer or further apart. But at least we are still in the race and no matter how many steps we take back so long as we take a step forward toward Christ our life gradually and slowly transforms just like the sun transforms to its brightness starting from dawn.

Baby steps my dear, the Christian walk is never a race and no one is keeping scores on how good you have been today. The beauty of this journey is that it is an individual affair and allowing the Holy spirit to be with you helps you take these baby steps until you reach your destination.

You may be the one who counts the number of steps you take backwards; stop counting for the Lord does not keep scores. 

Each morning when you see the sun rise smile and remind yourself that the slate is wiped clean, it's a new morning and as a child of God your path will slowly but surely  shine, shine so much people around can't look at you twice because of the abundant Grace and anointing on you.

Let's focus on His goodness and you will realize your flaws are nothing to bother about, just keep walking and the holy Spirit will take care of the rest as you rise with the sun each morning.
