Based on this anecdote, the best way to describe our monotheistic relationship with God, is that He is the great Seer who cannot be seen. "No one can see Me and live," scripture proclaims. However, it is through His attributes and the way He relates to mankind, that we can develop a personal relationship with God. For instance, we are taught, "Just as He is merciful, you be merciful. As He is kind, so too, shall you perform loving kindness." In other words, the more a person practices imitatio dei, emulating the one-way giving of the Creator, the closer we will cling to Him.

Performing altruistic acts without the expectation of reciprocity is one of the greatest godly-attributes. Most religions of the East and West are bogged down by the pre-occupation with what God is or isn't. For certain, the more we attempt to paint a picture or imagine what He looks like, the more elusive will become the effort to find Him. Emphasizing deed over creed will prove more productive. A good exercise in appreciating the gift of life from Above and sharing it, is to meditate or think about ways to benefit one's fellow each day. Try picking a "victim" from among your friends or associates at work or school. Think about a way you can give them something unexpected without expecting any reciprocal gesture. It might only be a thoughtful smile and "good morning". If you do this on a regular basis, we guarantee that you will begin to "see" God clearer each day.
