Every sunrise is different and it is a beautifully painted imagery of a transition. But what makes the difference between a beautiful sunrise and a glorious one? From an artist point of view, it is the stuff that fill the frame of the picture where the sun is the main subject. It could be the landscape, clouds, a bird or other animals passing by, an airplane crossing the sky, some midst or fog, and everything else you could think of that fits more or less in this scenario.

A clean sky and a still open space creates a picture of a serene sunrise.
Beautiful!

A busy sky with an animated background creates a picture of a vibrant sunrise.
Glorious!

In the first scenario you can enjoy the sun and its vivid color. In the second one you can enjoy how the sun’s color touches every single participant in the picture, painting them with different nuances from its vivid color.

In the same way, an easy transition is indeed beautiful. But a challenging one is not only beautiful, but it enriches you, it grows you, it paints you with colors from God’s essence. And for me THAT is glorious.

So why resist challenges when you can make them a part of your journey? Why not use them as a faster way of transportation to our destination?
