I was out in London today and as we approach Lent I am challenging myself to notice God in my everyday meetings and occurrences. I think I blogged along these lines months ago after a holiday and reading Soul Salsa by Leonard Sweet

Today I arrived in Greenwich to meet Nick, who was out when I arrived. I saw God in the welcome and hospitality of Bridget as she popped home to collect something. She took time out of busy schedule to make a cup of tea and chat with me until Nick arrived.

I met up later with Hugh. We talked ‘yfc’, had lunch and talked more as we wandered around Greenwich Park. I met God in the beauty of that place but more in the trust and friendship that Hugh displayed.

Later I went along to Chilslehurst YFC and met with the trustees there. I shared how the partnership between YFC and Chislehurst worked out in reality. Here I saw God in the obvious passion to reach the lost hearts of young people.

God is everywhere, we know. Interestingly, as these events were happening I was not recognising God. It’s only upon my reflection of the day that I have seen where I have specifically met with God today.

It’s great and gives a real buzz to see where I have met with God today.
