But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. Matthew 13:16 NLT

God opens our eyes in truth. He tugs at our souls and allows us to witness the power of His authority to bless us in mighty ways. He longs for us to witness His timely rewards and find STRENGTH when we seek Him and PRAY. 

God knows the longing of our hearts. He helps us find PEACE and JOY. As we receive gifts of greatness, we welcome the Holy Spirit to dwell in us. We feel the power of God’s presence and notice what He wants us to discover. 

None of us are deserving of amazing grace, but God loves us! He calls us worthy and nurtures our desire to TRUST. He reminds us we were not created to live without gratitude for the One who died in our place. 

He helps us remove blinders that cause us to doubt and humbles our hearts for His. Imagine what God will do when we stop dwelling in the worry of wonder and TRUST HIM all of our days? God WILL nurture prayers of PRAISE when we ask Him to help us focus on what is GOOD.   

The JOY of the Lord is our strength! The path toward wholeness will be found when we seek Him with ALL of our hearts, allow our FAITH to grow deeper and choose to remain tethered to Christ.

God is great! The power of His love will reign forever! No matter what we experience in our lives, there will never be a day without a blessing. He will show us amazing things when we open our eyes and never stop thanking Him for the many ways He will guide and provide.   

I pray your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. Ephesians 1:18-19 NLT

Dear God, thank you for what we see when we take time to notice. Open our eyes for the gifts of Your greatness so we will welcome the peace of Jesus and find joy in the promise of Your everlasting love. Forgive us when we forget who’s in charge of our days. We will remain faithful and leave our worries behind. Thank you for the many ways You choose to reveal the beauty of Your presence. May we always stand in awe of Your timely rewards and forever give You our praise. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking care of us and those we love. Amen
