Eyes Focused and Clear

My friend texted me today and said she prayed this specific prayer for me today.  How thoughtful and wise that my friends would pray such a thing over my life.

"That's why, when I heard of the solid trust you have in the Master Jesus and your outpouring of love to all the followers of Jesus, I couldn't stop thanking God for you -- every time I prayed, I'd think of you and give thanks.  But I do more than thank.  I ask -- ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory -- to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him -- endless energy, boundless strength!"
  | Ephesians 1:15-19


"Eyes focused and clear."

Oh, that God would peel back the veils from my eyes so that I may see the treasure of knowing Him glimmer and glean and shine.
