“The soul has eyes with which to see and ears with which to hear.
Feeble they may be from long disuse, but by the life-giving touch of
Christ alive now and capable of sharpest sight and most sensitive
hearing. As we begin to focus upon God the things of the Spirit will take shape
before our inner eyes. Obedience to the Word of Christ will bring an
inward revelation of the Godhead (John 14:21-23). It will give acute
perception enabling us to see God even as is promised to the pure in
heart. A new God consciousness will seize upon us and we shall begin
to taste and hear and inwardly feel the God who is our life and our
all. There will be seen the constant shining of the light that
lighteth every man that cometh into the world. More and more, as our
faculties grow sharper and more sure, God will become to us the great
All, and His Presence the glory and wonder of our lives.
O God, quicken to life every power within me, that I may lay hold on
eternal things. Open my eyes that I may see; give me acute spiritual
perception; enable me to taste Thee and know that Thou art good. Make
heaven more real to me than any earthly thing has ever been. Amen.”
