“No one decides to see glory. And no one merely decides to experience the Christian Scriptures as the all-compelling, all-satisfying truth of one’s life.
In the end, seeing is a gift. And so the free embrace of God’s word is a gift.
God’s Spirit opens the eyes of our heart, and what was once boring, or absurd, or foolish, or mythical is now self-evidently real.
You can pray and ask God for that miracle. I ask daily for fresh eyes for His glory.”
–John Piper, A Peculiar Glory (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2016), 283.
