Each of the above interactions with Jesus happened as He journeyed.
Awaken!
To that tug on your sleeve from your child.
The untimely call of a friend.
The tears of a co-worker.
To anything that interrupts your day.
It could be love calling you.
Love Is Present
Stop and see what the Father sees in everyone you meet. If you ask, He will show you.
How do you respond to interruptions?
How have you scheduled yourself where you've no margin left to love?
How has God tried to get you to look up from your task and into the eyes of those He seeks?
Lord, forgive me for living my agenda as though my personal life is the reference point. Jesus, You are my life. Amen
