Night before Morning

1 min read

“Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord, and humility comes before honor.” Proverbs 15:33 NIV

Behind every beautiful morning there’s a dark night. Before we have honor a price must be paid. The greater the breakthrough, the even greater sacrifice. There’s no crown without a cross, and no victory without vicissitude.   

I’m making the same point time and time and time again because in general what media shows us is an easier path. People just happen to be successful, they do well by doing the least, and things should pan out just because. Nowhere in the Bible we can find this message. 

Let us go back to the basics and don’t expect any more than what we put in. No investment, no reward. Let us embrace the night because we know God promises us a morning. 

My name is Arturo and I am loved by God and in response to that I best serve others by adding VALUE to their lives. My goal is to enrich lives, relationships, and communities.
From an artistic standpoint I’m a visual communicator and via the use of photography I seek promote beauty, concepts, and messages. Spiritually speaking I've served as a chaplain at a addiction/recovery rehabilitation center, and before that as a youth pastor, missionary, and Young Life/Club Beyond staff for many years here in the USA and abroad.
On the mental health side I currently serve as a life coach, certified addiction recovery specialist, and marriage and family counselor.
