“Your eye is the lamp of
your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But
when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness.”
Luke 11.34
My eyes light up all of life
for the whole of my body. Jesus was “the light of the world”, yet even when He
had given freely and so well, the Jews did not see Him in the right light. They
asked for further signs.
There are two distinct aspects
to “seeing” anything. One lies in the reality of that which is displayed. The
other is in the clarity of the viewer.
Jesus is truly God. His whole
being exudes His divine nature. The Holy Scriptures are full of His presence
and its precious gift to mankind. I praise God that I see this – clearly. I’m
not sure that my eyesight is perfect, but it is on the right side. My eyes are
good rather than bad. Yet, even so, I can ask God for further improvement. As I
see, so shall I know. As I ask God to clarify and improve my vision so I will
see more clearly into the mysteries of heaven and become more and more open to
the revelations of my great God and Saviour.
Lord God,
I thank You that I can see quite a measure of the truth of Your
wonderful message and the rich relationship that comes to me.
I sense light rather than darkness, but I’m hungry for more light. My
imperfect love craves more of You. My unworthiness cries out to be encapsulated
and eclipsed by Your overwhelming love. I see! Yes, Lord, I see. But I
unashamedly want to see more. I pray for deeper revelation and greater
enlightenment as I read the Holy Scriptures. I ask for further insights that
take me to a new place in You.
I love You, and yearn to go deeper in that love. Touch me, change me,
and open me up, please, that I can freely share Your love, touching hearts for
You, healing deep wounds, changing brokenness to wholeness. May I spread Your
love as I also enjoy it myself. Amen.
