"May He enlighten your innermost vision, the eyes of your heart, that you may know the great hope of His calling, the wealth of glorious heritage to be distributed among the members of the church, and the immeasurable greatness of His power in us who believe." Ephesians 1:18-19
What if we have this amazing inheritance, a huge mansion and a prosperous vineyard in Reims, and other big business concerns running by itself prosperously, but we didn't know about it? We would be like that old man in New York's Central Park, found dead on a park bench. When someone searched his pockets to find some clue of his identity, they also found thousands of dollars worth of stale checks in his name. He probably didn't know how to encash it.
We do have an inheritance, a glorious inheritance! Saint Paul's prayer is that we who believe would be able to see it, even now, here on earth. Faith, in Hebrews 11:1, is defined as the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Lord, open my eyes that I may see, the wonderful gifts You have for me!!!
