How Can I Deserve to See God’s Goodness

In this Universe?

Do I have to earn it?

Do I have to be worthy of the privilege

Of seeing God in this universe?

It would indeed be a privilege

To see God everywhere.

Perhaps

The privilege would depend 

Upon how well I served God and did His will.

Why would God allow me to see Him,

If I did not do his bidding?

And if I didn’t know God well enough to obey Him,

Could I really recognize Him?

If I saw a waterfall, 

Would I see it as a gift of God,

Or just a lot of water? 

Perhaps

Seeing God’s goodness in the universe could not happen 

Unless I first knew Him.

And knew Him well.

Then I might be able to recognize Him.

Do I need a template within me

To recognize Him outside of me?

Yes, I do.

If He were within me,

Then I would feel Him outside me.

And then I would know Him and see Him.

Why Can’t I See God’s Goodness?

Am I the only one who’s blind?

That doesn’t seem fair.

What am I doing wrong?

What’s my problem?

What do I have to change?

That’s so sad,

Beauty stands before me

And I don’t even see it. 

I must lack Spiritual Vision,

God’s vision.

All the beauty of the world welcomes me,

And I don’t notice it.

What a shame!

It’s everywhere; but for me, it’s nowhere.

Maybe I need to ask for that vision.

“Ask and you will receive.”

It’s a gift,

Given by the giver of all gifts,

Of all goodness.

Gifts sometimes need to be requested.

I have to ask for the gift,

And I have to deserve it.

Maybe I have to do both.

What do I need to do to deserve it?

We’ll find that out.
