God wants us to walk in the light, to walk with Him. Like Jesus and two disheartened men, on the road to Emmaus...like with Saul after he was forever changed to Paul. Like with David, even after he committed awful but forgiven sin.
"IF we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, an the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin." 1 John 1:7
Did you notice that these men mentioned above didn't choose to walk with Him, in a sense?
He appeared.
He was already there.
He opened eyes.
He opened hearts.
He made His presence known.
And He has given us the Light to have so we can give the Light to others. While we are Christians, and walking in the Light, we should have precious fellowship with one another. If we do not continue to walk in the light, we give ourselves grief in relationships, for it is the Lord that binds us together in unity.
Romans 12 asks us give up the dark, and put on the light, it's armor. In a sense, we are clothing ourselves with Jesus Christ.
And what sums up the characteristics of Jesus Christ? The greatest of them all...Love. For without this Love, we are nothing, we have nothing, our light is dime.
Let us give our light, our love, to one another. In turn, we are giving Love back to our Creator, whom we praise as we were appointed.
Let us not forget that we must live in the Light...we were asked to. Jesus showed us. God's Word unveils the truth about the Light.
Diligence in this act is hard, but the walk is well worth it.

One of my favorite Bible passages is the one relating the walk on the Emmaeus Road...I never connected the idea you wrote that the visit was initiated by HIM...He gives each of us the light we need in the walk we are having...
Much Love,
