And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him. Luke 24:15-16

Jesus draws near and walks with us in every moment. Our wounds, worries, obsessions, shame, fear, or pride may prevent us from recognizing his peaceful presence. We can learn to take quiet moments to calm our minds and open our eyes, ears, and hearts to see, hear, and know the presence of the Lord with, in, and around us.

Today I will practice awareness of the present moment. I will quiet my thoughts and listen for the peaceful voice of Jesus. I will ask him to show me the path of life and love.
