As Jesus drew near, he saw the city and wept over it, saying,
“If this day you only knew what makes for peace —
but now it is hidden from your eyes.
(Luke 19:41-42)
Today, I am reminded that God visits us in ordinary and extraordinary ways—through Scripture, prayer, people, and events. Am I attentive, or distracted by lesser things? Jesus’ tears show His longing for my peace. My response should be openness, humility, and readiness to welcome Him.
These words carry a weight of urgency and spiritual insight. They beckon us to be attuned to moments of divine presence, to recognize when the sacred intersects with our lives.
In the quiet of our hearts, in the ordinary and extraordinary, there are visitations—times when grace touches us, when purpose aligns, when destiny unfolds. It is in these junctures that we glimpse eternity, and our souls stir with recognition.
May we open our eyes, our hearts, and our spirits to these holy encounters. For in recognizing the time of God’s visitation, we find purpose, transformation, and the whisper of eternity.
Lord Jesus,
You wept over Jerusalem, grieving for hearts that would not see. I ask You to open my eyes to Your presence today. Let me not miss the time of Your visitation in my life. Grant me the peace that only You can give and make me a witness of Your mercy to others. Teach me to welcome You with faith, so that my life may be built on Your love and truth.
Amen.
