Often, we think of the new morning as another day to deal with issues, challenges and difficulties. There's always something in our personal lives, it seems.
The downward spiral that the world is in, but of which growing Christians are not surprised, does not help.
Our faith is being fought at every turn. Sometimes we think, I don't feel like getting up. Even so, we have a choice.
We can choose to see this new day as another chance from God to succeed where we failed, to grow where we have become stagnant, to build hope and faith where we have become frustrated.
Today is a chance, because once we are gone from this lost and dying world, we won't be able to grow anymore, we won't be able to share anymore, we won't be able to build up riches in Heaven anymore.
We know that others have left already, many well before what we feel should have been their time. God, Our Father, has given us another day to excel before we leave.
Hallelujah!
