Now when she had said this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus. John 20:14
"It's hard to imagine someone looking at Jesus and not knowing it is Jesus. Yet that is what happened to Mary. She didn't recognize Him because Jesus appeared to Mary in a way that was unfamiliar to her. Is Jesus working in your life in unfamiliar ways? Do not assume that He will work in a certain way, or at a certain time according to your expectations. When you bring a need to Him, you may not always recognize how He is answering your prayer. His answers may appear to be coincidental or circumstantial, but always remember that He often uses ordinary people and everyday events to work in supernatural ways."- His Footsteps, My Pathway
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways." Isaiah 55:8
We tend to be so fixated on awaiting Jesus' "answers" to our prayers that we miss His daily workings in our lives. How will we notice the Lord without training our eyes to see Him in the simple things. Often times, Jesus Christ works miracles in big way, and it is unmistakably His Handiwork; but He performs small miracles all the time and sadly, they go unnoticed, because we're too busy expecting something awesome & extraordinary! Friend, I urge you to notice the subtle wonder that surrounds you, for in it lives the goodness and closeness of God!
Find Joy in Him, Beloved!
