<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nA young couple and baby drive up on a golf cart to catch the view also. We visit a little. They are up earlier than the rest of their large family gathering at their house next door to ours. I asked their names. The dad is \u201cRyan\u201d. I say \u201cI won\u2019t forget your name; my son is Ryan. Ryan means \u201clittle king\u201d\u2019. Her name is Faith and the baby boy\u2019s name is \u201cReign\u201d and the dad says: \u201cLike a king reigns!\u201d I reply: \u201cYou must be believers.\u201d They are. We had our heaven-touches-earth moments together. Opening my eyes and heart to see, saw a family in love with each other and God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That reminded me of a song: \u201cOpen the eyes of my heart, Lord. I want to see You.\u201d I want to see Him more than in my family, that sweet little family I met, in nature, the skies, and the oceans. I want my heart\u2019s eyes to open to all His wonders and grace. That song makes sense as I read this scripture: \u201cBlessed are the pure in heart, for they will SEE God.\u201d Matthew 5:8. That “pure in heart\u2019 must be the prescription for 20\/20 vision for seeing God! I want that vision!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pure heart doesn\u2019t mean we are perfect people. If our purest intention is to see God, we will. I\u2019ve said it in many of my blogs that while I can\u2019t see the Lord\u2019s physical form, I do see evidence of Him all around me. In that case, we should always be asking God to open our eyes to the many things in our life that speak to His presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can keep our eyes wide open as we look for evidence of God around us. It\u2019s amazing: The more we recognize even the smallest things as gifts from God, the more we start to realize how present He is in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If what I\u2019m saying seems too difficult to understand \u2013 the part about being able to SEE God, then maybe there is something dividing your heart and distracting you from seeing Him. That\u2019s when we ask God to help us SEE. It may be that it\u2019s a simple distraction of our technology gadgets or people who come between us and God in nature, in daily potential encounters when we have an awareness of Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And, maybe, we need to look closer at the people around us — just maybe we\u2019ll see God in them as they help someone with food or clothing or encouraging words. The truth is \u2013 the more we purpose to place our focus on Him \u2013 in scripture, in people, in our daily activities, the more we’ll see Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love you, my precious friends. I believe God isn\u2019t trying to hide from us. He\u2019s everywhere. He\u2019s just waiting for us to open our eyes to Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
