The Almighty not only hears the conversations we don\u2019t hear, but He also sees the things we can\u2019t see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By revealing truth to us, God opens our eyes to the unseen. Dealing bountifully with us creates a self-awareness of our sin and the Lord\u2019s grace. Without that realization, we can\u2019t have an intimate relationship with the Savior. Only by recognizing our sin can we lay it at the foot of the Cross and experience the miraculous transformation that comes from God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin a conversation with God. Ask Him to open your eyes and reveal His truth to you. Lean into the Savior and experience the wondrous things found in His ways. Gaining divine vision only happens when we submit our lives to our Maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experience the wonders of Jesus. Relish in the presence of the Savior, gaining vision from your relationship with Him.
