“I ask the glorious Father and God of our Lord Jesus Christ to give you his Spirit. The Spirit will make you wise and let you understand what it means to know God. My prayer is that light will flood your hearts and you will understand the hope given to you when God chose you. Then you will discover the glorious blessings that will be yours, together with all God's people.” Ephesians 1:17-18
“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” Matthew 6:19-21

Philippians 3:7-9,
“Whatever former things I had that might have been gain to me, I have come to consider as a loss for Christ’s sake. I count everything as loss, compared to the possession of the priceless privilege of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, and progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him. For His sake, I have lost everything, and consider it all to be plain rubbish, in order that I may win Christ. And that I may be found and known as in Him, not having any righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law’s demands, but possessing that which comes through faith in Christ, the right standing with God, which comes from God by faith.”
Our eyes are truly the channel to our heart.
And Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
“As for us, we have this large crowd of witnesses around us. So then, let us rid ourselves of everything that gets in the way, and of the sin which holds on to us so tightly, and let us run with determination the race that lies before us. Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end.” Hebrews 12:1-2 GNT
“We don’t look for things that can be seen, but for things that can’t be seen. Things that can be seen are only temporary. But things that can’t be seen last forever.” 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 NOG
“My eyes grow tired as I look to you to save me. Please save me as you have promised. Be good to me, because you love me. Teach me your orders.” Psalm 119:123-124 NIRV
Jesus, I accept You as my Savior I believe God raised You from the dead I confess You as my Lord. In the name of Jesus.”
"Blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.”
