Nothing is Invisible

Jesus has been talking in general (whoever drinks of this water), but now he gets personal. “Go and get your husband.” She is quick to respond, “I have no husband.” Now Jesus lays open her heart. “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly”(John 4:17-18)

In this one conversation we see reflected Hebrews 4:13. “And there is no creature hidden from his sight but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.”

God already knows our heart, our motives, and our intentions. He makes it clear there is no need to try to hide from him. It would be a waste of valuable time. Better to be honest with ourselves and quickly confess our need for a savior.
