Open the Eyes of My Heart to see His Glorious Face

Ephesians 1:  17 [For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him,

18 By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones),

19 And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength,

20 Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places],

21 Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.

22 And He has put all things under His feet and has appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the church [a headship exercised throughout the church],

23 Which is His body, the fullness of Him Who fills all in all [for in that body lives the full measure of Him Who makes everything complete, and Who fills everything everywhere with Himself].

This was a prayer that Paul prayed for the Ephesian people.  This is the prayer that I would pray for you.  Though this is a prayer for those who know Christ as their Savior.  I would like to pray it for all who read this.  I would pray that the eyes of your heart be opened to see the light of His Glory that you would understand, desire, and seek Him.  I, too so desire that He so flood the eyes of my heart with His light that I may be blinded to all that surrounds me and would try to draw me away.  If I truly understand the richness of His Glorious Inheritance and the hope to which He has called me; then all the "other stuff, trials, and tribulations that make up this life" become mere triviality.  If I understand the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for me; what would I ever worry about?  If I truly have been swept off my feet; having so fallen in love with my Savior, would there be any task too great?  Go back and read these words of Paul once more, very slowly let them become a prayer for yourself and for someone else.  Do you want to see His Face, His Grace, and His Magnificent Beauty with the eyes of your heart?  Do you want to sit a moment at His feet and be so filled with His presence?  Let me tell you that your entire day with be changed by that moment spent with Him.
