Seeing God

These words come from Dr. Swindoll's book on Jesus.

As long as we hold onto our own desires and remain fixed on having our own way, we will be unable to see God, even if He were standing right before our eyes.

When writing about the disciples on the road to Emmaus Swindoll says

Once the disciplies were opened to divine perspective, Jesus became invisible to their physical eyes. They had gained insight that trancended the need for sight.
