Truth

Today has been a great day. Very relaxing.
I spent most of the morning.. well morning .. sleeping.
But then! I got up and was able to really just sit down and enjoyably organize my life a little.
We had a KiA event tonight and it was great. There are always a few new faces. It is awesome to see God working His way into peoples hearts as they slowly begin to become open to Him. Community and Fellowship are really happening and I think almost more than anything having great affect.
There is one man in particular. His name is Christian. I finally discovered that he is originally from Hungary, I think at some point in his life he might have lived in the U.S. for a little while, but obviously now he is residing in Germany. He is homeless as far as I can tell. I often see him anytime I go into the city. Sometimes I see him at certain spots playing his harmonica for whatever change he can get. My heart goes out for Christian. He has such a sweet spirit about him. Always smiling. The hard part is that he really doesn't speak much German at all, and it seems he knows even less English. But even so I always try to communicate with him, it usually doesn't go to far. But as time goes I can feel a deeper connection with him building. As I can look across the room and catch a smile from him or just wave as I see him out. Despite the language barrier he comes to all the KiA Events. Perhaps he understands more than he can speak, in which case I totally understand. But I don't know.
Tonight I saw Christian, this man I often see playing his harmonica for music on the streets, give during the offering. More than that, God saw Christian.
I am more and more learning that God is working in a lot more lives than we recognize. I am learning that God is a lot closer to the hearts of people who may not even know the name of "Jesus." I believe we have so often created such a formula for someone to follow through to come to know God. But I am learning, I'm not so sure there is one. I know that the things I see people do, the good acts and intentions that I see people have, their hearts, could only have something good if it were from God. Only God is good. God is breaking in to lives everywhere. We must see that, and accept it, and support it, and nourish it. God is found where truth is found..And Truth is found everywhere. Keep your eyes open.
