Seeing and Hearing Him

We can see Him in every act of kindness because He is the source of kindness.
We can see Him in the suffering of those we love because it is He who suffered more then anyone every has.
We can see Him when men stand against evil because He is our strength and our shield.
We can see Him in the pureness of a new born child because He is the One who has made us pure in His sight.
We can see Him in every expression of love because He is love.
We can see Him in moments of triumph and victory because He is the One who has conquered in the ultimate battle over sin and death.

We can hear Him when we hear children joyously laugh in gleeful abandonment because He is the fountain of all joy.
We can hear Him when we hear those crying out for help because what we do for them we do for Him.
We can hear Him when thunder rolls in the skies because He is the creator of our universe.
We can hear Him in the purr of a sleeping kitten who knows no care because He is the one that cares for all His creatures.
We can hear Him in the silence as our hearts beat in a steady rhythm because He is the one who gives and sustains our life.
We can hear Him in the sounds and music that bring us peace of mind because He is the great composer of contentment and rest.

So yes we can see Him, if we look for Him. And yes we can hear Him if we listen for Him.
We can see Him in the lives of those who acknowledge His presence and even in some who don't yet know He abides in them.
We can see Him and hear Him because He is in us. My prayer is that we are ever more sensitive to seeing Him in others.

How do you hear Him and see Him?
