Have you seen God?

The circumstance was
tough
messy and
downright difficult.
Every effort to change the circumstance was made; but nothing worked.
The principle that we discussed in yesterday’s Kick Start remains:
With God, there is always something more. 
Tough-messy-downright-difficult times 
are never dead-end with God,
but, rather, a new beginning .  . . .
God will do something that is far from the realm
of our known possibilities . . . a miracle.
But how do you have a perspective of possibilities  . . . how do you see God in the midst of the challenges of life?
Jesus taught the keys to living a blessed life on a mountain plateau close to Capernaum. 
When you get down to it . . . the blessed are those who know the presence and activity of God.  
Jesus said it: Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
    Matthew5:8
In order to see God, the heart must be clear of impurities or toxins like hatred, gossip, distrust, and negative attitudes, which require us to go to God . . . praying . . . surrendering . . . realizing that prayer is not just one more thing added to our list . . . but a miracle . . . the place where possibilities begin.  
We are created to surrender
impurities,
to pray,
and to see God.

And, when we see God . . . we are transformed . . . which changes everything.
Pray:  God, give me vision to see You.
Learning with you to KICK START the day . . . to see God.
