From the black void of sleep, light materializes.
My eyes open.
Another day, another free gift from my Creator bestowed.
He who rules the universe in majesty watches this moment, this small motion. My animation is His delight.
The machinery of my physical being begins. Stretch, turn, waste disposal, energy consumption.
In tandem, my Holy compass, that place in my mind, tethered to my heart, awakens. Its single purpose, to guide me to God if I let it and I trust it.
Now it is time for the choice.
The gift has been provided anew. The creation endowed with free will to make the decision – what will I do with this gift?
Creator, this day, let me long for You. Let me offer to You any malaise for You can convert anything to your greater glory. Celebrate my joys and receive my gratitude for them.
Let me seek Your Kingdom, Your face, Your heart, all the days of my life.
