When we lift our hearts in humble reverence and gaze upon His unveiled glory—when His divine attributes shine brightly through the illuminating light of understanding—our hearts are set ablaze with a deep sense of His faithfulness. In that sacred moment, our joy becomes unshakable and steadfast, rooted firmly in the unwavering love of God, for He is love itself—pure, eternal, and unchanging. This continuous pursuit—this ongoing activity of a saint—is characterized by a relentless seeking after divine truth and a joyful rejoicing in the profound mystery of His grace. Within each of us resides the power of the mind—a divine influence that grants us meaning in our perceptions, shaping how we find satisfaction and fulfillment in the images and realities we observe. But this influence extends far beyond the physical realm; we have been endowed with spiritual eyes—eyes that pierce beyond the surface and perceive a wisdom that surpasses worldly understanding. This divine insight is profound because it anchors our actions and decisions in the true nature of Christ, helping us discern the divine origin of all existence. These spiritual senses enable us to see beyond superficial appearances and recognize the hand of God in every facet of creation. We do not merely live in this knowledge passively; instead, we actively partake in His creation daily, discovering joy and delight in the beauty and goodness of what He has made. As we grow in understanding and intimacy with Him, our longing for Him deepens; this yearning is sustained and nourished by the enjoyment of His gifts—gifts that point us back to the Creator’s kindness and grace. There exists a unique pleasure—not simply in the physical objects themselves or in sensory pleasures, but in the unseen splendor behind them—the divine glory that underpins all creation. We rejoice because we recognize that every good thing originates from our loving Father, whose kindness and benevolence are revealed through His gifts. These blessings serve as tokens of His grace, meant to delight and draw us closer to Him. I have never claimed otherwise; I acknowledge that all good gifts come from His hand. Yet, the true glory of God remains our ultimate focus—a steadfast posture of worship and praise, wherein our actions are sanctified through giving Him all the honor, and not seeking to elevate ourselves. It is from the desire of our hearts that all our works flow; our love for Christ encompasses and fulfills the entire law. That is why Jesus teaches us that evil does not come from external influences alone, but originates from the condition of the heart itself. While our physical senses may fade or fail over time, the spiritual joy they awaken within us is renewed each new day. As we partake of His creation—seeing His handiwork everywhere—our desire for Him only intensifies, surpassing mere physical pleasure and guiding us toward the true fulfillment and satisfaction found in His presence. Our longing will only be fully satisfied when, at last, our earthly bodies give way to the eternal, and we behold His face in glory. When we observe nature—not merely as scientists studying matter but as those who see through divine wisdom—we perceive a dimension beyond the material, a spiritual reality that reveals God's eternal power and goodness. Instead of relying solely on microscopes or telescopes, we view through the lens of understanding, praying that “the eyes of our understanding may be enlightened.” As we gaze upon His creation, a response stirs within us—rejoicing in His glory, marveling at His wisdom, and recognizing His hand in the beauty around us. Our hearts are lifted in praise because these perceptions are cause and effect—they illuminate our souls and draw us closer to the divine. This divine illumination assures us that God's presence and power fill all things—visible and invisible—even if unseen to the eye, evidenced through the marvels and intricacies of His creation.
