Envisioning the Invisible

How does a blind man 'see'? He uses the senses he HAS that relate to the world around him. We can 'see' God the exact same way. By relating to how He interacts with us within this world.

Second, 'He' is a universal pronoun. If you have ever studied foreign languages, 'He' is the pronoun that is fallen back on. In the way Americans use the universal 'you' when they mean 'one'. As in "One does not expect anyone to do odd things at odd times."

Since God is an invisible God without what humans consider a physical body, you have to know what to look for in order to see him. Without a physical body, He cannot be man or woman, because that requires a human body in order to have sexual organs. However, He is both man and woman in regards to behavior.

Romans 1:20

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

(referring to Christ)
Colossians 1:15

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

1 Timothy 1:17

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Hebrews 11:27

By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible.

God is love.

1 John 4:8

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

1 John 4:16

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

And since God is love, we can know God by knowing what love is:

1 Corinthians 13

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

When you see even a poor reflection of that love, you are seeing God at work.

God Bless.
