I just wanted to drop a quick note on the name of the blog. "Eyes of My heart" comes from Ephesians 1:18
"...17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints..."
I've spent some time over the weekend listening to the testimonies of others who God has brought out of darkness and into truth and the story is almost always exactly the same. Somehow, someway, at sometime, God enlightened the eyes of the heart of the person and showed them the hope and the inheritance to which they have been called. Those who share their testimonies describe it as scales falling from eyes, light going on in the head, blinders being taken off, eyes of the heart being opened, and many other ways - but the result is always the same. God, in His infinite grace and mercy, pulls us out of the darkness and into the light. He lets us see the truth that we simply could not see on our own, no matter how many times we had looked at it in His word before, we had never SEEN it. How great is our God!
The point of this blog is not to tear down, make fun, disrespect, or harm in any way.
The point of my blog is to share the things that I have seen after God enlightened the eyes of my heart so that others may have the eyes of their hearts opened and know the hope and inheritance that God has offered us through His son Jesus Christ - to the end that His glorious name be praised.
