Can You See It?

Matthew 5:8 (KJV)     Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

      I have often found myself laying on the ground crying out to God.  Most often my prayer is “I want to know you.”  “I want to see your glory.” “Teach me your ways.”  I have heard these same prayers by many souls that gathered in our prayer meetings around the altars of the church.  The heart that has tasted God’s love and grace can never be satisfied.   Once we know God we must have more!  This beatitude helps us to find the way to know Him more.

     The pure in heart shall see God.  Some would think that this is a reference to physically seeing God, perhaps when He calls us to Heaven but there is another meaning as well.  Have you ever had someone explain a complicated equation to you but no matter how hard you tried you just couldn’t see it.  We often say that when we comprehend a subject we see it, meaning that we understand it clearly.  What if Jesus is telling us that to fully comprehend the depth of God we must purify our heart? 

     My eyes have never seen Jesus but my heart has seen Him time and time again.  He reveals Himself to me in the depths of my spirit and I find understanding of the hidden things of God.  It is with the heart man believes God and it is with the heart that we can know Him.  We might say that the heart is the eye of the soul.  Join me this week as we explore what a pure heart means and how we can find a greater vision of Jesus.
