My cup is filled with goodness and the Lord speaks to me. As my eyes awake with the morning, the clouds adorn the morning sky like welcome signs. My heart will linger in His presence all the day long while my body goes through the motions of the day.

Will we move into our day protected by a wall? Will the hurts from the past stay with us, inside the structure we have built around us? Will our fears stay locked behind the wall?

Going through this motion day after day will keep us from freedom in the present. Behind our walls, the morning sun as it rises will not awake our souls. Behind the walls we have built as protection, we will slowly die.

This week as we rise, let us reflect inward and outward. Let us ask deep questions of ourselves, and open our eyes to those we love. Let us see the walls we have built, and learn how to lovingly take them down piece by piece.

Join me on the Patio!
