God deals with our spiritual sight problem. Our creator knows that all of us were born blind to the truth because of sin’s curse. The way we see God, the world, and ourselves is naturally off. But He wants to heal our vision and our relationships with Him.

Paul preached, “God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him” (Acts 17:30). What does repent mean? That word is essential to getting to know God. It means to turn from your sin.

Think about ­it—­disobedience or sin always comes from doing things our own way. Admitting we are blind, turning from our own way, and asking God to deal with our sight problem is what He desires of us. All this is summed up in the phrase “turn to him.”  The best way to turn to God and get to know who exactly He is and who you are is to go to His Word directly. He wrote it by His Spirit and through people who turned to and found Him. Ask God to teach you through His Word. He promises that those who turn to Him will have their spiritual sight and relationship with their creator restored!
