A Sidewalk Glance

Sometimes when I am walking down a crowded sidewalk I glance at people and just for a second focus on their face. I look into their eyes and time seems to stand still. For that brief moment I see Christ in them. I wonder where they are from, what they have experienced in life, where they are going, and who they care about.

For that short time I feel God’s love for that person. I don’t know their name but I know God does. If they are longing for God I hope they find Him. If they have found Him, I pray they stay faithful to him.

I hope that I will never forget to take the time to see God in others.

That is so rad... I can totally relate.
It will be really random and unexpected times for me though... like a certain person driving (usually someone I pass on the freeway), or -when I worked at Timbos- interesting customers. Then there are those same people that you always see walking around Abbotsford, and you always catch them walking down the same street. I want to know about them.
