Opened Eyes
by Amanda Kuhn
Six years ago, something inside me was hinting at the fact that I was viewing God through a blurred and distorted lens. I knew there was more, but I simply didn't know what that was. Then through life events, circumstances, lessons, tests and people He so lovingly placed in my path, I began to see God in a whole different way. He opened my eyes to His Majesty, His Power, His Spirit, but most importantly, His overwhelming Love and Desire for relationship with each one of us. My hope is that by openly and honestly sharing with you my experiences, maybe your eyes can be opened too!
