The Pure in Heart
Seeing God is a very high aspiration. Moses requested it and was told the sight would kill him. (He did get to see God's back and even this nearly overwhelmed him.) That was in the Old Testament. In the New, Thomas asked Jesus to show him the Father and Jesus replied, "How long have I been with you?"
These were the experiences of others. But here is the promise to all. Jesus said it: the pure in heart will see God.
How? For most, it's in the circumstances of life, the so-called coincidences, providence, and situations with no explanation but that the Lord was part of it.
God is everywhere and in all time; it's the pure in heart who see it.
David prayed, "Create in me a clean heart, O God." It's a prayer we also can make.
Be pure in heart. See God in all things.
