"Blessed (happy, [a]enviably fortunate, and [b]spiritually prosperous--possessing the [c]happiness produced by the experience of God's favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His grace, regardless of their outward conditions) are the pure in heart, for they shall see God!" (amplified)
see
-to perceive (things) mentally; discern; understand
i was cleaning this am and this verse came to my mind. then i thought about it. a pure heart sees god
how so?
i came to this simple conclusion. i can see god in emails that could be taken wrong, in conversations with friends and not so friendly friends, in pictures that i see, in talking to nathaniel, in sharing with chris, in reading the word, in sharing it with others, in baking treats for ppl who need them, by loving people to hurt me or worse, wronged them
by discerning what is true, what is good, what is god by thinking on these things and not giving any room in my thoughts to wrong thinking, i can then see god
then i can be jesus with skin on
