Moments of clarity...

I truly believe that there are 2 times of the day that Yahweh gifts to us for a very special time of reflection, meditation, and prayer. They are seemingly similar, but actually truly distinct.

Morning grace and Evening mercy.

Morning grace is that time when you are transitioned from sleep state and you are embracing the new day.

You are regenerated, refreshed from your slumber, and the day set before you is pure and pregnant with potential. Nothing has disturbed it, taken it hostage, or studded it with activities.

It is grace. A time to thank the Father for not only seeing us through the night and granting us rest, but also for giving us the miracle of a new day; a clean slate and creamy white canvas. All intentions are pure and sincere, and the possibilities are truly endless.

Evening mercy is the moment for decompressing; reflection and re-examination of the day you were gifted with. What did you do, how did you do it, was it what you wanted and if not, why not... It is the time when I dynamically connect with just how much Yahweh kept me, throughout the day.

If I failed to achieve the goals I set before me, and/or I did not conduct myself according to the standards that are hared coded within my being, I can go before Him with trust and humility and seek the forgiveness and love that only He gives unconditionally.

Though perhaps not as calming as the morning's grace, the mercy of this time is just as vital to me for prayer and inner-clarity. Like a spiritual and mental cleansing bath, fragrant with images and feelings from the day's encounters.

I commune with Yahweh in me, through me, and around me at both these precious periods of the day, and it is the full circle of self awareness that makes me know that NOTHING is accidental and insignificant in my life and in the world.

I love these times of morning grace and evening mercy. They are as vital to me as the air I breathe.

Thank you, Yahweh.

I am that; I am.
