Those with a pure heart can “see God” because their sight isn’t impaired by trying to focus on more than one thing at the same time. The outlook of cross-eyed Christians is blurred by competing concerns. The only thing worse than spiritual blindness is thinking you can see when you can’t (Revelation 3:18). Viewing God through spiritual cataracts is at best, limiting, and at worst, ruinous.

This is beautiful. I listen to your podcast while I’m working around the house and appreciate you so much. I’ve been going through the biggest faith crisis in my life. I know that I must continue to feed myself with spiritual things. Thank you for sharing.
