“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” Matthew 5:8
What would you say to Jesus if you could see him face to face? Actually, that should be WHEN you see him face to face. Scripture clearly tells us that this is impossible down here on earth. John 1:18 and I John 4:12 both say ‘No one has seen God at any time…’ But can you imagine what that first conversation will be like; in the new earth?
Recently I was on holiday apart from my children for the first time and as much
as I had a wonderful holiday, the thought of reconciliation was never far from my mind. And when I saw my children, well… So, imagine the joy when God is reconciled with his children/child – You. Take a moment and think about what you will say to Him when you see him face to face.
“Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face continually” 1 Chronicles 16:11

Housekeeping details for you
The point of this short blog will become clear if you decide to use this reading in the way we intend it. Netherfield Seventh-day Adventist Church believes in healthy churches. You can see what that means if you head to the relevant Healthy Churches page of the website. We also want other churches to be healthy. That means you can join in our campaign to create healthy churches, with healthy people serving the people in those churches.
A healthy church is one where Jesus comes first. A healthy church is one where the people work together to put Jesus first. One thing we are doing is to join people together to spread that news. I would like you to look at our prayer partners page. This will explain how we want you to use this short devotional. Very basically we want you to find a like-minded Christian friend who you will join with to : choose to pray together every day, decide together on a way to serve other people together, to help them grow as Christians - and to invite the Holy Spirit into your life every day. This blog that you will receive every day simply gives a common spiritual purpose. If you are a newcomer and want to join the blog with this object in mind click here
