"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe."
(Ephesians 1:18-19)
There is a kind of seeing that goes beyond eyesight. Paul prays not for physical vision, but for the eyes of the heart to be opened and to grasp the spiritual realities that the natural mind cannot comprehend. His prayer is that believers would know, not just in theory, but in experience: hope, inheritance, and power.
First, Paul prays that we would know the hope of His calling. This is not a vague wish for a better future. It is a steady hope rooted in God’s unchanging promises. He has called you out of darkness into light, and with that calling comes a purpose that gives meaning to every moment; even the painful ones.
Secondly, he prays that we would understand the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints. This means you are part of something far bigger than yourself. You are God’s treasured possession, and you belong to a family of faith that shares in the blessings of Christ, both now and forever.
Lastly, he speaks of the boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe. This isn’t a small strength; it’s divine power, limitless and alive in you. It’s the same power that raised Jesus from the dead and is now at work to transform your life from the inside out.
For anyone walking through recovery, these truths are essential. God wants more than behavior change; He wants heart transformation. And He’s given you hope, value, and power to walk it out.
Are the eyes of your heart open to see what God has already given you? How has His hope and power transformed your life?
Father, open the eyes of my heart and let me see the hope You’ve called me to, the worth You’ve placed on my life, and the power You’ve made available through faith. Help me live in that truth today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
