If your vision
suddenly became blurry, you'd probably make an appointment to see an
Eye Doctor. You wouldn't automatically assume that it had anything
to do with problems in your heart! But for our spiritual eyes, the
Bible says;
Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see
God. (Matthew 5:8)
This scripture is
saying that if you've got a clean and pure heart, you will have no
problem seeing God, feeling his presence, and knowing him. You could
likewise turn it around to say that if your heart is unclean, you
won't see God.
When I was younger,
and even now, there would be times when I'd go to church and
wouldn't feel a thing. I'd get angry and frustrated. I'd wonder why
God wouldn't just touch me, or speak to me. Then when I read this
scripture I realized it was my own fault! I needed to get my heart
clean and pure before I could easily see God. I realized that one of
the reason's I was feeling blocked from God's presence was because
most of the time I was in church with a bad attitude. It might of
been because I had a bad day, or gotten into an argument with a
friend before church-but whatever it was, it was keeping me from
seeing God!
So if you're having
trouble seeing God in your life, or his plan and will for your
future-whatever it may be-check your heart! Make sure you aren't
blurring your own vision with an unclean heart, attitude, and
spirit.
