The dictionary definition of "Epiphany" is "a Christian festival, observed on January 6th, commemorating the manifestation Christ to the gentiles in the persons of the Magi." The second meaning is for "epiphany" (lower case) and is "an appearance or manifestation, especially of a deity."

The second definition is what has become most meaningful to me. I always knew that God loved me. My epiphany came when I knew I loved God.

Dear God, You come to us when, where and how we least expect You. Let us stop, listen and look for You in our lives and in the lives of others. Amen.
