𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕖𝕪𝕖𝕤 𝕠𝕗 𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕙𝕖𝕒𝕣𝕥?! Who knew that our heart has eyes! Eyes that can be enlightened, or stay dim and unfocused. Eyes that can be flooded with inspired light or stumble around in the darkness trying to find their way. Eyes that are opened by the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that we may know Him better! So that we may know Him with our whole heart, deep down in the depths of our being. So that we might learn about His great power and the hope of our calling.

If a heart has eyes, then perhaps it also has ears. That we would hear Jesus with our heart, not just our mind, not just in knowledge, but that our hearts would be open to hear what He is saying in the Spirit, not in the natural, in the supernatural. Let’s be filled to the brim with the Spirit, let’s be full of the Spirit of wisdom and revelation! Let’s live in the place where we can see Jesus, where we get to know him more, where the eyes of our heart are opened to the glorious light of our Saviour. Where we can walk with our Father and hear His Heart. Where our wants and needs diminish and His thoughts and desires become the focus of our being. In the Spirit. 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁!

Surely, if our heart has eyes and ears then maybe it has a voice? A mouth to speak the truth. A mouth to shout out the things that are not as though they were!
