New Eyes
February 2, 2013

A college student I met had recently placed her faith in Christ. She described her initial life-change this way: “When I trusted Christ for salvation, it felt like God reached down from heaven and placed a new set of eyes in my eye sockets. I could understand spiritual truth!”

It was moving to hear how her encounter with the Savior brought new spiritual perception. But her experience is not unique. Everyone is endowed with spiritual sight when they trust Christ as their Savior. Yet, at times a “fog” rolls in and our spiritual vision becomes cloudy and unclear. That happens when we neglect our relationship with Him.

In Paul’s fervent prayer for believers’ spiritual sight, we see how important it is to fully appreciate all that God has done and will do for us through Christ. He prayed that the eyes of our understanding would be enlightened that we “may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints” (Eph. 1:18).

Each believer has been given new eyes to discern spiritual truth. As we keep our hearts tuned to God, He will help us to see with our spiritual eyes all that He has given to us in Christ.

My soul within me yearns for Thee
Till Christ be fully formed in me;
Let love divine enlarge my heart,
Then all Thy fullness, Lord, impart. —Stewart

I once was blind but now I see!

Read: Ephesians 1:15-21

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know . . . the riches of the glory of His inheritance. —Ephesians 1:18

Bible in a Year:
Exodus 29-30; Matthew 21:23-46

My sympathy on the loss of your dear aunt, (((Dave))).
Happy Mrs. DD had a good Texas visit.
My neighbor’s beautiful pink Tulip Tree has pink buds showing..It blooms in February..
Spring is coming!
It’s 65 here, this has been a mostly mild winter..so far.
I stay in when it’s in the 30s except to feed and water the birds ..so I avoid the cold.

[MEG33]

Lovely , Amy! I’m sorry I missed you..So glad to “see”you!
Today it’s 65 with no wind..Spring is coming soon!

The dog doesn't know the difference between Saturday, Sunday, and Monday,
so I have to walk the dog early those days too.

Thanks, everyone, for all the pings and compliments. Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Here's a summertime tune. Maybe it, along with Punxsutawney Phil's early spring prediction, will hasten warm weather along....

You are so lucky! Could you possibly share some of that with your freezing friends? I have been cold since November!
