Try Today
Spend 5 minutes in silence and listen. Ask Jesus to speak your name to your heart the way He spoke Mary's name at the tomb. Let that soak in.
Prayer
Jesus invited His disciples to ask for what they truly need (John 15:7)—including to know themselves loved personally.
Father, thank You that I'm not just part of a mass of believers—You know my name. You know the real me, all my failures and fears, and You call me toward Yourself anyway. When I feel invisible or unknown in this world, help me remember that the risen Jesus knows me so intimately He calls me by name. Give me courage to respond to His voice like Mary did. Remake my heart to know I'm chosen and seen. In Jesus' name, Amen.
