Faith

"By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones)" Ephesians 1:18 (Amplified)

How do we have the eyes of our heart flooded with light? The simple answer is found in Hebrews 12:2 "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Jesus is the light of the world. Apart from him there is only darkness. We have light because we are His children and readily profess that He is the Son of God through our faith.

It's amazing how faith operates. We weren't there when he turned the water into wine. We weren't there when He raised Lazarus from the dead. Yet we believe. Jesus told Peter after asking the disciples who they thought He was, "..blessed are you Peter because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you" (that Jesus was the son of God). You see God immeasurably blesses the faith that operates within you. You just have to continually operate in it, not let the enemy steal your faith, and above all share this faith with others, for that is the purpose to which He called us to.
