Good morning everybody, I’m Isabella, one of the contributing writers for “Mornings with Jesus.”

It’s about five o’clock in the morning here on the Florida Sun coast, and I’ve already been awake for a couple of hours. And that’s what I wanted to talk to you about, tacking on to what Marilyn said.

Several years ago, I started waking up at three in the morning for apparently no reason whatsoever. And I wasn’t worried or anything but I did start to get concerned of how it would affect my day, because I have kids and I was working. And the Lord just spoke to my heart, and said, “This time is for us.”

And so that changed my whole perspective, and I started getting up and spending that time in Bible study and journaling and just being with Him and praying, and it has really transformed my faith and has blessed me so much.

So I know many of you are probably waking up really afraid right now or worried, and I’m inviting you to consider that God’s motive is always love and He can bless us in all things. And to go ahead and get up and spend that extra time with Him, because our faith so often grows strongest in a pressure cooker, and this is certainly a pressure cooker.

Anyway, I hope that blesses you, and have a great day. I love you. And so does He. Bye.
