Afterward Jesus appeared again to His disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way. John 21:1

Today you are invited to consider how it did happen for you. Before we read the rest of the story how it actually did happen, see yourself on a lake shore – perhaps a lake that is familiar to you. Imagine, as you walk along the shore Jesus is there, waiting for you. How do you greet each other? What do you say to one another. Sit in the quiet of the early morning or whatever time of day is your favourite and have a chat with Jesus as you look out of the water. Is it stormy, or calm? Are the skies blue or grey? Do the external conditions make a difference to your time with Him? Take your time, then, as you get up to leave, consider the one thing that He has said to you that you will hide in your heart and take away with you. What is it?

May God bless you with a quiet and beautiful space as you spend time with Him today.
