Holiness Connected to Seeing God

Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
heb 12:14

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
matt. 5:8

So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.
2 pet. 3:14

these 3 verses have been swimming around in my mind since last thursday. here are some of the questions which arise from my mind.

  • who are peace with God and peace with man connected?

  • so with holiness all will see the Lord?

  • what is it truly like to see the Lord?

  • do we honestly mean what we say when we sing, "open the eyes of my heart, Lord; i want to see You"?

Jesus,
be praised for opening this passion for Your word. it's awesome to hear You speak thru the words on a page of a book. You, Holy Spirit, are alive and active. I pray for my eyes to be opened that i may see You - so i'm praying for holiness. i want others to come to know You - to see You thru their spiritual eyes which You open. may Your grace flood over us, giving us eyes to see You and the power of Your mighty right hand. i pray for a revival in the hearts on those in pickens county and the surrounding areas. may You continue the impressive work You've started. i love You, Dad.
in Jesus' Name ~ Amen!
