📜 Today in History & Heritage

1519: Hernán Cortés entered Tenochtitlán, the capital of the Aztec Empire — a moment in history reminding us that conquest without compassion leaves wounds, but faith with love brings healing.
1889: Montana became the 41st state to join the United States — proof that growth often follows endurance.
1895: Wilhelm Roentgen discovered X-rays, revealing what’s hidden — a reflection of how God’s truth sees beyond the surface.
1960: John F. Kennedy was elected U.S. President — his call to serve reminds us to give of ourselves for the greater good.
2000: W. Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — showing that gifts and creativity come from God, even when we’re still learning to use them for good.

Every event, whether monumental or humble, tells the same truth — God is still writing history through each of us.

✝️ Christian Heritage & Reflection

Today, we honor Saint Godfrey of Amiens, a humble bishop who served faithfully despite corruption and criticism.He believed holiness wasn’t about position but about a pure heart and an obedient spirit.

1 Samuel 16:7 (KJV):

“For the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”

Agape love doesn’t seek recognition; it seeks to please God.Even when misunderstood, true love stays faithful, gentle, and pure.

❤️ Today’s Agape Message: Love That Sees the Heart

Today’s theme is Love That Sees the Heart.We live in a world that judges quickly — by looks, success, or mistakes — but God’s love looks deeper.He sees the pain behind the smile, the effort behind the struggle, and the faith behind the waiting.Agape love calls us to do the same — to look beyond the surface and see people through the eyes of compassion.

1 John 4:7 (KJV):

“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.”

💭 Reflection Thought:Do I take time to see the heart of others, or do I stop at what I see on the outside?

Agape love doesn’t rush to judge — it slows down to understand.
