John 1:10 “He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.” It’s possible to be close to something and still miss it. Jesus wasn’t distant in this verse, He was present. Walking among people. Speaking. Healing. Loving. Yet many didn’t recognize Him, even though He was the One who created the world itself. How often do we miss God’s presence simply because we expected it to look different? Sometimes we look for big signs, when He’s working through small moments. Sometimes we overlook peace because we’re waiting for something dramatic. Sometimes we miss direction because it comes as conviction, not noise. Hope in this: Jesus still came into the world that didn’t recognize Him. That means God doesn’t withdraw just because we struggle to see Him. His presence is steady, even when our awareness is not. Where might God already be present in your life that you haven’t recognized yet?
