Your Morning is on the Way

It's amazing how the shift from night to morning can change so many things. We go to sleep when things are overwhelming or we are depressed by our situation with the hope that in the morning things will be better. It is almost like if we can just go to sleep, then when we wake up it will be all better no matter how bad it was.

I just want to encourage you and let you know that your morning is on the way. Remember night only lasts for so long and then morning MUST come. Sometimes we get frustrated because it feels like morning will never come, but then it does and the sun rises and it is a new day. No matter how long our night lasts the sun will rise and our morning will come.

We have to rest in the assurance that it CANNOT be night FOREVER. God has given night a limited time only. But while it is night, we have to learn to enjoy the night while we are waiting for the morning. Let me tell you why. There are some things that are just better at night. Watching a scary movie is better at night. Having a romantic dinner is better at night. Sitting in front of the fireplace is better at night. Sleep is better at night. There are things that are just more enjoyable at night. So if there was never a night, then we would never know just how good those things are when it is dark.

The same is true with our lives and our growth. We grow more during our night seasons. We find out how strong we are during our night. We find out who is for us and who is against us during our night. We grow to appreciate our morning more during our night. We learn to love ourselves and others more during our night. We build our character during our night.

So instead of complaining because you are in your night, appreciate your night. Find ways to enjoy your night and wait expectantly on your morning knowing that night will come again. Be encouraged because the better you get at enjoying your night, the easier it becomes to wait on your morning. Don't despair because your morning is on the way! Hold on and have a candlelit dinner while you wait!
