Most of you will have to admit that you have never seen God.
Doesn't it seem strange that a Father in Heaven who claims to love you has never bothered to show you his face?

honey don't be dumb. God is always there. You can't see someones brain. How do you know they have that? God can be seen through everyday miracles.
I'm just a teen and I'm proud when I say "I LOVE GOD!!"

One may question why God reveals Himself to some and yet remains an explicable myth to others. It is the Divine’s prerogative to reveal Himself and to hide Himself. Therefore it is stated in scriptures that God neither hates anyone nor likes anyone but that He seems to. From the point of view of the father, all of his sons are the same because they are his sons, yet the ungrateful son who leaves home expressing no concern for his father is not as beloved as a son who carefully obeys his father’s wishes. The goodness of the father may be revealed to one son and not to another. For the son who has left home his father might as well be dead for all he knows or cares, but although the son may forget the father, the father never forgets the son. He will always welcome the son home. Similarly, all the conditioned souls on earth have left their home, which is Krishna’s spiritual abode, and have wandered into a dream world where they become entangled in enjoying things of the dream. Some may even recognize it as a dream. Yet instead of acquiring knowledge to awake, they become more implicated. But Krishna always gives the living entity the opportunity to awake and return to Him.

God is not physically visible to the human eye. He is very visible to the redeemed soul, and is near us 24/7.
He is not hiding because He has no reason to. If you can't see Him in the natural (which nobody can) then the only hope you have of ever seeing Him is to seek Him out, repent of your sin, receive the wonderful salvation that comes in Christ alone, and live to love and serve the Lord. When you start on your journey you will see God through spiritual eyes and you will understand that God is Spirit - not form. The eyes of faith
behold Him because He reveals HImself through our hearts.
God did reveal Himself to man long ago in Jerusalem. You just didn't happen to be around then, but it is a historically proven event.

Showing ones face is not the only criteria to indicate he loves you. The love of our Heavenly Father is so great that He gave His only begotten Son for us to die.Don't you think that God many times have helped you come out of your crisis. As one poet says,..Count your blessing one by one and it will surprise you what He has done....
Doubting God's Love is just an age old strategy of Satan to lead us astray from God.

When God talks of hiding his face from you it is actually a reflection of you not turning your face to God.
"This only One and very Self is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. This also every Christian acknowledges from his doctrine and every gentile from his religion. In consequence, wherever he is, a man thinks that God is there and that he prays to God at hand; thinking and praying so, men cannot but think that God is everywhere, that is, omnipresent [in all places at all times]; likewise omniscient [all knowing] and omnipotent [all powerful]. Everyone praying to God, therefore, implores Him from the heart to lead him because He can lead him; thus he acknowledges the divine omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence, doing so in turning his face to the Lord; thereupon the truth flows in from the Lord" (Divine Providence n. 157).

Look at that wallpaper u will understand.
www.fathersloveletter.com. check it out u will understand.
Matthew 5:8[kjv]Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Isaiah 65:1[kjv]I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
John 3:16[kjv] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
so when we believe in JESUS we have eternal life.JESUS lived a sinless life and gave up his life as a sacrifice so we can be sin free. Ask JESUS to come into your heart and forgive ur sins and cleanse ur past with his blood.
With a simple prayer like above u can be saved.JESUS loves u and wants u to be saved.

You do not need faith with your earthly father. I do not need to see my heavenly Father to know that He exists. I do not need to see my own brain matter, either....or atoms, or the synapses in my brain. I do see/feel the effects of that presence.....
To see God face to face while we are in our imoure state would kill us instantly from all HIs beauty.

The problem is religion telling people that God is a person.
This nonsense confuses people and leads to ideas like you are talking about.
God is a spirit. Spirits are nonphysical. They don't have faces to show you.
Love and blessings Don

Mortal eyes substantiate mortal thoughts, whereas "new" eyes see God. It is not that God has not bothered, but more like with our stiff necks, we can't turn around to see.

if no one's ever seen the Father's face and lived, why would I want to? besides, I can wait to actually SEE His face. it builds more faith that way.
