The miracles everyone knows that Jesus is credited with are a way to see God if you let them give you faith because in them God has revealed His own statement of testimony about His Son.

And not just in reading and hearing being read and pondering scripture do we need a softened heart of courage to allow the words to turn within us into the revelation of God but the same is when we think about Jesus Christ His Son who Himself is The Word of God. Thinking of the miracles Jesus did but without the useless hardened fearful unbelief that is human nature but rather with an encouraged faith will allow revelation of God to appear to us in the miracles God gave Lord Jesus to do. Encouraging each other daily opens us up to this. Jesus must have meant something like this when saying what is translated:
