“Pay attention to the people God puts in your path if you want to discern what God is up to in your life." Henri Nouwen
Divine Appointments..
There are no accidental encounters in this life. Every person who crosses our path~ whether they stay for a moment or a lifetime~ carries something sacred within the meeting. Some arrive to teach us, others to heal us, and a few simply to remind us that we are not walking alone. If we learn to look closely, to listen beyond the surface, we begin to see the quiet choreography of grace at work.
God often speaks through people long before we recognize His voice in the conversation. The encouragement of a stranger, the challenge of a friend, the unexpected kindness that arrives when we need it most~ these are not coincidences; they are divine appointments. They are living whispers of purpose placed gently along our journey.
Sometimes, the people we least expect become the ones who open our eyes. They hold up mirrors that reveal our strength, or sometimes our blind spots, helping us grow into who we’re meant to be. Other times, someone’s presence feels like a soft lantern in the dark~ reminding us that love still finds its way, even through uncertainty.
When we pay attention, we begin to discern the pattern: God is always weaving something~ through connections, through conversations, through moments that seem ordinary but are anything but. The right people appear not by chance, but by divine design, carrying pieces of the story He’s writing in us.
So pause. Look around. Listen with your spirit, not just your ears. The next person you meet may not be random at all~ they might be a messenger, a lesson, or even an answer to a prayer you’ve forgotten you prayed.
Because when you open your heart to the people God places in your path, you begin to see what He’s up to in your life~ and more than that, you begin to see how lovingly, how intricately, He’s always been at work.
Truly 🙏🏼✨🙌🏼✨🕊️💛😊
