What if you woke up in the morning and someone you fully trusted, told you today is your day? Imagine if God were standing on the side of your bed as you scarcely opened your eyes to shut off the alarm clock. You suddenly realize something is very different than any other day; the light in the room is far brighter than you've ever noticed it before and for some strange reason there is no feeling of animosity toward it or the fact that morning came earlier than you may have hoped.

You open your eyes and immediately feel compelled to look away from the majestic presence of your creator. At first you withdraw from his presence knowing you have failed to meet even one of his expectations. Then all at once you realize he was smiling warmly at you. You feel a gentle touch on the outside of the comforter and are caught up in the immense comfort and love that suddenly surges through your veins from his touch. You humbly force yourself to face him, swallowing your shame and guilt as hard as it may be.

You hear the sweetest sound, both masculine and comforting all in one. He tells you it is time to rise and shine and that today is your day.

You suddenly realize you must have died in your sleep and are being personally escorted to Heaven by the big man himself. You push the covers back quickly, looking around to see if there are any other differences. You're overcome with shock and awe at the reality that your life on earth as you have come to know it is extinguished, done and over with.

He smiles more compassionately as he speaks to you again. This time he assures you that you are not dead to the earth and that today is your day to begin to do all you were created for.

You don't understand. You feel your arms and legs, speechlessly you pinch yourself harder than you ever have before. Ouch! If you're dead, you realize there is still pain involved.

He again tells you to rise and go forth in your dreams and goals. He assures you that the dreams and desires of your heart are in fact planted from before you're birth. It is time and you are primed and ready for the next course.

You'd probably think you had lost your mind. You close your eyes and open them to find the room resumed to its original status, what you first expected. You want nothing more than to summon his presence before you once more, assuming he has in fact given you the means and ability to look upon his omni presence. However, it's not to be in the physical sense again, he remains only in spirit. Yet, you know what you know and that it was in no way in your imagination!

You stumble through the morning sorting it all out.

At last, you're headed into the day... What are you going to do with it now? You have already been assured by the greatest power, your ultimate creator and Savior... Now what will you do with this day?

So, I'm not God, nor do I pretend to deliver a message from him in such a context. I am telling you that today is your day. The desires of your heart and the dreams you hold tight to are most likely from the whisperings of the Holy Spirit. I am telling you to go forth today and make it all that God created you within it to be!

Today's the Day!!! Go forth and touch the world around you!
