You're listening to Encounter.

A simple daily podcast made possible by listeners like you.

We hope to help you discover sacred moments in the middle of ordinary days.

And if you would enjoy greater access to even more free meditations, I encourage you to

download the encountering piece mobile app where all the meditations are free, as they

should be.

What do you desire the most?

What are you living for?

Those are the most critical questions of any life, particularly the Christian life.

The world paints the story of living happily ever after, but is that your goal?

There's your idea of long-term planning and with retirement.

Well the essence of this meditation from Matthew chapter 5 is living your life in such

a way that you see God.

A life open to the treasure of God's blessing, not only for eternity, but also for life here

and now.

And the key to open that treasure trove and seeing God, well it's having a pure heart.

So to begin your meditation, slip into a time to see, a place to encounter, and a moment

to be prepared by the Holy Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Resting now in this divine moment, listen and respond to this reading from Hebrews chapter

12.

And as I lead us, answer, Lord God, I need to see you.

May the Lord bless the hearing and reading of his word.
