Century Tower

Went to class this morning and was going to be on time, but then there was a note on the board. Professor Wright will be here for the 2nd hour of class. Well then, thats my exit. On that note, I walk to the nearest library where I feel like I spent 90% of my freshmen year of college, which granted is probably an overexaggeration. Where do I find myself on this beautiful morning? Sitting on the third floor, eating jello with my headphones on and my Bible out facing a window that overlooks the greenest trees and the highest point on campus, Century Tower. Mornings have been tough lately, even this one, but at the same time I forget how much I like mornings. They are a brand new day to be lived out, God's mercies are new every morning. It is one more day that God grants me the opportunity to laugh, mourn, smile, and weep. Mornings are a fresh start to our battered and bruised lives. They can be difficult at times, sometimes we are tired, sometimes we don't want to do life that day, sometimes we know we have more to do than we have time for. Sometimes we dread how the day may go or how it won't go. But when the morning comes, regardless of if we are ready for it or not, it means there is still hope. It means that life does go on. That we will all be okay. That life will all be okay in time. Hemmingway took inspiration from Solomon. The Sun also rises. It sets, it goes away for a time. Darkness floods the earth, but the sun also rises.

I wake every morning and roll out of bed. Some days you can clearly see this in my crazy hair or half done make-up job. But I also wake up and listen to Your Love is Strong. God's love is strong for me. "For my father and mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me in" (David, Psalm 27:10). Regardless of how we may feel abandoned. Maybe even by God sometimes. We can be confident that God has indeed not left our side. Jesus has already made his commitment to us and He doesn't plan on leaving us. His love is strong. His love is strong. His love is strong. We must believe and have faith, regardless of how we feel in the present moment of our lives, that Jesus is the greatest love we will ever know. There is nothing deeper, nothing greater, nothing more spectacular, nothing more true. We have to believe that. I must believe that. Be faithful even when you don't feel like it. Be faithful even when you may be slightly unsure of the outcome. Get up in the morning. Even when thats the last thing you want to do. You see, Now I have found the greatest love of all. Good morning Jesus.
