Seeing With the Eye of the Heart

The Gospel is John 3:1-17

Jesus tells Nicodemus, “No one can enter the Kingdom of Heaven unless he be born from above.” Nicodemus misunderstands, interpreting this in a literal, physical sense. 

The Kingdom of Heaven is within us and among us, to be seen with the spiritual eye, the “eye of the heart”, not with physical eyes. With the eye of the heart we see spiritual reality.

How do we train the eye of the heart? We can tone down the distractions bombarding our minds and hearts, we can be still, see with the eye of the heart, sense the spiritual reality within and without, and know God.

We can take time during our sometimes busy days to find silence, to be still. We can take out our earbuds, turn off our tvs, be silent, and turn our spiritual senses to our ever present God.
