friends and loved ones. Always pray, that God will open their
eyes. No matter how logical and intelligent they are, they are not
going to see, until God puts eye salve on them.

2: If you have a measure of eyesight, don’t be proud. If God has
opened your eyes to see a few things, don’t be puffed up. If you
understand any spiritual mysteries of your union with Christ, it’s

you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to
comprehend with all the saints, what is the breadth and
length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ
that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all
the fullness of God. Now to Him Who is able to do
exceedingly, abundantly, beyond all that we ask and think,
according to the power that works within us, to Him be the
