I listen and feel my blood pumping. It&#8217;s Him. He wants to meet with me.&nbsp;I quietly get up, taking my phone and glasses (can&#8217;t forget those), tiptoe down the stairs and out onto the porch. I love the early morning. Still and quiet, just the birds.&nbsp;I tell Him, &#8220;I&#8217;m here&#8221; and wonder what He will reveal today. Think of it -GOD, Creator, Sustainer of Life -wants to sit with me!?

How awesome is that?<br>Today He says, &#8220;<strong><em>I will give them one heart and One Way, that they may fear Me forever, for their own good and the good of their children after them.
