    Have you ever been somewhere only to discover that a close friend was in the same place, but you didn’t recognize them and missed out on a chance to connect? I recently missed out on connecting with someone I work with because I didn’t recognize them.
    I’m struck by this scripture because I don’t want to miss out on this rebirth that comes from God. I want to make sure I recognize Jesus and respond to Him so we can connect.

    Are my eyes open to see Jesus? Are my ears open to hear His voice? Is my heart receptive to him?

    This year, we’re going to slow down.
We’re going to breathe.
We’re going to open the Scriptures, not just to read them — but to meet Jesus in them.
    There’s an ancient Christian practice that will guide us.
It’s called Lectio Divina — “Divine Reading.”
It’s not about rushing through verses or checking off a reading plan.
It’s about creating space to listen… really listen…
to the voice of God speaking through His Word.
