Pure Sight

Vision depends on character – only the pure in heart SEE God. – Anon  

When Philip joined the Ethiopian eunuch in his chariot he knew exactly where to start his message – JESUS! Amen.  

What we see in life, what we hear from others often depends on what we have in mind or heart. If we keep ourselves unsullied from the cares, concerns, and sins of the world, we will clearly see the things of God. Of course we’ll see those in need, those who are outcasts, those who despise us – the things Jesus saw – for these are the ones God is trying to reach. Things in life are tough for us all but God is still trying to reach out to a LOST generation, and He can only do it through those who have a heart like Him.  

Until tomorrow…..

Faith Vision

Sight is a faculty. Seeing is a gift. – R. Gilbert Hebrews 11 commends many for their faith. They didn’t physically see with their eyes what God had promised but they’re hearts did. They were REWARDED! Bob Cousy, Pete Maravich, Magic Johnson, Steve Nash. Guys who did amazing things with a basketball and their team. It was as if they had eyes in the back of their heads at times. It wasn’t so much that they did, they just had faith and trust in their teammates to be where they should be at the appointed time. Our God has promised us this and more. He will always be there, on time – if we have the faith. Though we often say we have faith, we generally base it only on the tangible stimuli we can see and touch, but true faith sees things that are out of sight and knows God is ever-present if we would just open our eyes and truly see HIm. His revelation won’t always be what we expect, but He will make himself known. Until tomorrow….. Pastor Botts “Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.” – Psalm 119:18
