1 John 4:12

HOW CAN I SEE GOD?

1st John 4:12. “No man hath seen God \at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us.” HOW CAN I SEE GOD? How can I see God? What evidence is there around me showing me God is real? I open my eyes – my spiritual eyes – and see There, in my brother and sister, is the extra mile walked A coat comes off his or her back and is given to another – That is how I see God!

How can I see God? The Spirit within me responds to the words of scripture – Christ was here – sent by the Father – He was here in the flesh – I didn’t literally see Him, but others did – many others, And I trust their testimony – their words ring true – Jesus was here – That is how I see God!

How can I see God? Special people – they are a lot like Christ – I know them – They are different – they are separate – they are a cut above They love other people – they love God’s Word – they love me They are not afraid in the dark days – their fear is gone – That is how I see God!

How can I see God? In those who walk together in light and love – In those who give of themselves and what they have – In those who read the Bible and live by it – In those old people, sick people, poor people who are not fearful That is how I see God!

“For any insight given by the Spirit, Father: for any truth seen in others lived out that reveal Thyself to me; for any grace that shines from others to those in the darkness of this age and place – I give Thee thanks and glory, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
