For Your Heart Today

Sometimes the greatest thing God wants to change isn't our circumstances—it's our vision.

Like Nathanael, we all carry assumptions shaped by our experiences, our culture, and even our wounds. Those assumptions can quietly narrow our expectations of what God can do and who God can use. Yet Jesus lovingly invites us to look beyond our limited vision and discover something far greater.

The good news is that God's work has always been bigger than we imagine. He is not only at work in our own lives but throughout the world, drawing people from every background into His kingdom and restoring all things through Christ. As we open our hearts to Him, we may find that the "greater things" Jesus promised are waiting just beyond the boundaries we've placed around Him.

This week, ask God to enlarge your vision. Be willing to let Him surprise you. You may discover that the God you know is even greater than you imagined.
