Asking god Quote by Cheryl Zelenka
““When the Word speaks of the heart, it is referring to the THINKING INSTRUMENT of the SOUL. Scripture tell us that the heart is the seat of emotions. When Paul prays that the “eyes of the Christian heart” be enlightened, he is asking God to help us grasp the revelation of things revealed to the mind and apply the understanding to our heart. He wants the revelations to move, motivate, and deepen our spiritual insight. With knowledge, we can then use wisdom to apply the understanding to our lives. "The eyes of your understanding": (ophthalmos) + (kardia), "The eyes of your heart.””
