Day 2: An Encounter With Jesus

The Lord watches over us from heaven, seeking those who understand and seek Him (Psalm 14:2). Just as Jesus disrupted His disciples' plans to reach the Samaritan woman, He desires to meet us where we are. We can be in the middle of a mess, chaos, and overwhelmed by life but we are still a part of His plan - His Master Plan. Sometimes, it's that unexpected encounter that changes everything. I had such a moment at my high school graduation, a time when I felt undeserving because of my past and my reputation. But God intervened, showing me His love. This encounter transformed me and set me on a new path, serving in my church and inspiring others to find hope in Christ. One encounter can bring light and freedom, lifting the weight of life's burdens. May we come to understand that nothing can stop us from God’s love - it heals, it restores, it renews, it redeems even the most broken and lost.

Reflection: Take time today to reflect on your encounter with Jesus. Remember the moment when you felt His presence and knew that He was calling you. Don't be afraid to dive deep into this memory.

Prayer: Lord, I thank You for Your goodness in my life, even in the good and challenging times. Thank You for Your saving grace and mercy. May I dwell in Your presence every day. In Jesus' name, Amen.
