I have often shared photos of the beautiful view from the window in my office. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises that envelope snow-capped mountains. Each day similar, yet different in its own way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"sunrise<\/a>I have rarely offered photos of the back side of my house which faces east. Mainly because I\u2019m usually looking to the west. But this this morning, I was awakened by a beautiful sunrise and as my eyes focused on its beauty and thanked God for the day, I snapped a picture.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I know I am blessed. I know I have much to be thankful for. I know that God\u2019s hand is in and on and all over my day. And this morning, I was once again reminded of God\u2019s compassion and love that He so willingly provides.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of the Lord\u2019s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.\u201d<\/em> (Lamentations 3:22-23 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Friend, I pray that today you are able to remember God\u2019s love, compassion and faithfulness regardless of your view. I pray that you are able to experience the guidance and leadership from the hand of God. I pray that you are able to be in His presence and know His peace. I pray that you are able to recognize His beauty in everything you see. Oh, above all I pray that you are able to live in His grace and truth and walk through your day as a reflection of the One who loves you the most.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You\u2019ve heard it before. A picture is worth a thousand words. What picture are you going to keep before you today? Will it be positive or negative? Self-centered or selfless? Meaningful or idle? Filled with blessings or curse? Giving or taking?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today I chose a beautiful picture. One that reflects Jesus and where He is at the center. I pray you will choose the same.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
