Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.

Blurred eyesight is often simply the result of stress, lack of sleep, or a headache. In the Bible, however, upset vision is associated with something much more vital—your heart! Matthew 5:8 says, "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." Maintaining a pure heart will enable a clear understanding of God and His will in your life. On the other hand, it could be said that those who lack purity of heart will have difficulty seeing God.

It is so easy to become frustrated in times when we feel that God is silent toward us. We don't realize that it is often because of problems in our own hearts! Housing anger and fear and neglecting prayer and fasting are all actions that can cloud your view. Clean out the things that you allow to live in your heart, and watch your eyesight become clear once again. sh
