Once we understand that all of life is infused with the presence of Jesus, every experience becomes sacred and each one, no matter how mundane, an opportunity to encounter Him. The beauty of nature, the birth of a child, the majesty of a great piece of music, a wedding, a special book or movie, even the death of a friend or family member all become opportunities for Him to reveal Himself to us. Take a moment now and remember those times when you have encountered Him, especially in the most unexpected ways.

“When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him.”

— Luke 24:30-31 (NIV 1984)

Lord Jesus, open our eyes so we can recognize you. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
