| | Morning is dawning here in my heart. My eyes are fluttering behind my closed lids and the Light is shining around me. My eye lids begin to open, my eyes adjusting to the Light. A new day dawns and my heart is full of love for Him. His warmth surrounds me and I long to find more hours to spend with Him to get to know Him better. My Father is revealing Himself to me through the pages of His love letter and through the knowledge of those words found within my heart.
You see, I have known my Father since my early childhood. We've always had a very special relationship. He's been there with me through all manner of joys and sorrows. I learned about what a little girl's relationship with her Daddy should be like by learning about and knowing Him.
Today is a new day. I am still His little girl, but He has transformed me from girl to wife and mother. As a mother I am basking in the joy of growing in my knowledge of Him as Father, a gentle Shepherd of His flock. What a glorious awakening, an answer to prayer for wisdom from above.
In recent days my Father has shown me His grief over my hurts that are incurred when I fail to obey His Word. He is opening my eyes to His compassion and mercy, gently nudging my heart towards the same compassion and mercy for my children when my word is disobeyed and hurts result. In my sinful, fleshly weakness I have responded in anger instead of compassion when tears fall and cries are heard. In humility I confess my sin before my Father knowing His forgiveness is complete. His restoration is perfect. His powerful Spirit resides in me, enabling me to be changed into His likeness.
More and more days are happening like this and I praise the God who created me and my children. He is guiding me, showing me more of who He is and how to be more like Him. I am humbled by His grace. I am grateful for His answer to my prayer. I am encouraged to continue to pray and request His wisdom in all matters because He hears and answers. The eyes of my heart are seeing Him in a whole new light.
