“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in His holy people, and His incomparably great power for us who believe.”– Ephesians 1:18-19
Many of us want to be blessed, to experience the power of God in our lives, to see and feel that the Almighty hands are moving for our dreams to come to pass. Yet many of us don’t first examine the condition of our hearts—the inner most being of being a Christian. The Lord said in His words that if we let our hearts be enlightened, we will be able to see His power; that is, His riches, His plans, His will, His control, His blessings, His love. However, the enlightenment of our hearts is not something automatically given. It is something we desperately ask from God because our hearts firmly hold this desire of wanting more of Him, some sort of a reward for the things we worked for in harmony with what is being taught, which is “to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” (Ephesians 4:24)
