Ephesians 1:18

Ephesians 1:18

 

“I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you…”  This poignant picture located smack in the middle of Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians speaks volumes of the power of God in bringing us to Christ.  I am reminded of the footage that I saw sometime this past year of a young deaf boy receiving a cochlear implant and is able to hear for the first time in his life.  The boy’s, eyes, his face, his smile, his soul lights up like a New Years sky as he hears the voice of his mother speaking his name.  It still gives me chills to think about it!  Likewise, Paul is praying that God will breathe new life into our spiritual senses…that they eyes of our very soul would come alive…that we may hear the father’s voice for the first time, catch a glimpse of who He really is and who we really are in him.
