<p>&quot;I pray also that the <strong>eyes of your heart may be <br />
          enlightened</strong>—in order that you may know the hope <br />
        to which He has called you—what a rich and glorious<br />
        inheritance He has given to His people.&quot; Ephes. 1:18<br />
        <br />
        If the Spirit would but enlighten the eyes of our heart,<br />
        how this would lift us up out of the mud and mire of this<br />
        wretched world! <strong>We would not be such muck-worms</strong>, <br />
        raking and scraping a few straws together—or <strong>running <br />
          about like ants with our morsel of grain!</strong> We would have <br />
        our affections fixed more on things above. We would . . .<br />
        <strong>know </strong>more of Christ,<br />
        <strong>enjoy </strong>more of Christ,<br />
        <strong>be </strong>more like Christ,<br />
        <strong>walk </strong>more like Christ walked, and<br />
        look forward to our glorious inheritance. <br />
        <br />
        If these things were brought into our hearts with divine <br />
        power—how they would sweeten every bitter cup, and <br />
        carry us through every changing scene, until at last we <br />
        were landed above—to see the Lord as He is, in the full <br />
        perfection of His infinite glory!
