The EYES of MY HEART are ENLIGHTENED
“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened,”
This verse marks a pivotal point in my spiritual pilgrimage. I was a college summer missionary. Where was I sent to spread God’s Word? My home state – Texas. For 10 weeks I traveled with two other college students and we led workshops in churches across Texas. My part? To teach on the Holy Spirit. I remember one morning I was studying in Ephesians and God “did a work on me.” I read today’s verse and the Holy Spirit quickened my heart, “I can open your eyes to see more than the printed words. I can enlighten the eyes of your heart to see into the depth of My teachings.” My heart leaped, yearning to know God and His Word more deeply. He enlightened the eyes of my heart that morning to the incredible richness of His Word. I can honestly say that I’m in love with the Bible, for it is God’s deep, rich, powerful message to us. If you’ve never before accepted Christ’s gift of enlightening the eyes of your heart, open your Bibles to Ephesians 1:18-20. Read what is yours in Christ. Then, pray, “Enlightened the eyes of my heart.”
Heavenly Father, thank You that in Christ the eyes of my heart are enlightened to the hope of His calling, the riches of glory of my inheritance, and the surpassing greatness of Christ’s power toward me.
