Not with my eyes but with my heart.

I feel Him beside me.

I see the Father all around me.

Everything.

No.

Blind people do that.

So it would seem.

I would be glad to.

For now, but there will be a time when I won't.

Not if God wills otherwise.

The proof is all around you.

May God open your eyes so you can see Him.

You remain in my prayers in Christ's name, neighbor.

May you accept Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, someday, so that
you too will have eternal life and the infinite riches of His
everlasting kingdom.
