Seeing With the Heart

“Grandpa! I believe, I believe now with all my heart what my eyes could not see!”

This is quote is from my children’s story “The Whales Sang and Danced”. When a wise grandfather who loved the Lord and shared with his beloved granddaughter that faith is believing with the heart what the eyes can’t see.

Reasoning does not attain the glorious discovery of God, but a child-like faith always will.

”By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command,

that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.”

Hebrews 11:3 NLT

Those who seek to know God by knowledge are really seeking to satisfy their own reasoning of Him. They are seeking God by other means rather than discovering a depth of joy found in the unseen realms hidden in the heart of every believer.

Faith in God and His Word becomes real, personal and passionate when He is sought with the heart and not by sight. In our heart there is a peace that passes all understanding.

And there is the place God lives, where He keeps His throne and communicates Himself to us who enter there in faith.

In those times of great need to know, when we yearn for facts, want answers and explanations that is the exact time when God calls us to trust in Him. Come seek Him with all our heart and we will find Him waiting there.  

Seeing with the heart and not by sight gives one a great advantage over those who are still too blind to see.

Seeing with the heart and believing by faith is a gift of good sight from God.
