The Merciful Visitor

"Divine visitation does not necessarily mean that one must see a vision or an angel. However, it entails that one will have a profound divine experience. An experience one can refer to in future as a time he encountered a touch from the Lord."  - Bode Ayodele

Visitors arrive in two forms: expected and unexpected. Expected visitors usually mean that some preparation is in order beforehand. It might also mean some investment of time, and money is required to make the visitor feel as welcome, and comfortable as possible.

On the other hand, an unexpected visitor at your door might require some fancy footwork on your part. The element of surprise is on your guests side. You might experience some panic, anxiety, frustration, and even anger in this situation.

There is, however, one special visitor who no matter the situation is always welcome. That visitor is not only with us, but is always in us. The merciful beauty of this particular visitor is that He remains in us no matter how much we might annoy, or rebel against Him.

We have all had special visits from the Lord. He has brought with Him joys, deliverances, and innumerable blessings. He visits us in our darkest nights, when our world is crashing down on top of us; being drawn deep into our sagging spirit to save us.

His tenderness has visited us in times of great trouble, and depression, when we were weighed down with heavy burdens, and during times of heart breaking sorrow. No matter. He visited us displaying His tenderness toward us.

The marvelous wonder of His visitations is how His Revelation is custom made in just the right fashion and approach to the situation and comprehension of the one in need. In other words, it is exactly what is needed for each individual!

All of God's visits are merciful; thus removing our darkness. This includes the darkness of ignorance, sorrow, carelessness, pain, and fear. Certainly there are those visitors whom we put off until some distant time in the future.

However, God is the One visitor whom we should be waiting for with the door to our hearts flung open, and our arms outstretched wide!

Scripture: Romans 8:26; Isaiah 11:2; Ephesians 1:13; Romans 5:5; Romans 5:3-5

Prayer: Dear Lord, there have been many times in my life when I felt my troubles to many, and my burdens to heavy to bear; yet You were always there to refresh my spirit and encourage me to move on. Thank you for giving me just what I needed when I needed it. Amen  

Have a blessed day,
