See God?

Good Morning,

1 John 4:10-14, 16 (NIV)
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

John is right, of course, when he writes, "No one has ever seen God." However, the thought came to me that we sort of see God, even through our human eyes, when we look at each other and see the love of God, love for God, and love for one another. We read, "God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him."

Therefore, I would say, if we wish to see God, then all we have to do is to look at our brothers and sisters in the Lord. In this way we see God because, again as we read, "Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him."

When we love, we show God in us. When we show God in us He is visible to others. It's that simple.

How will I show love today? In what way will the love of God, the love for God, and the love God wants me to show toward you, how, exactly, will that love be evident for you to see? Will God be visible in me today?

My prayer is that He will be and that what I do this day will truly make it evident that God does, truly, live in me.

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
