<\/a>\u201cI pray also that they eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, a<\/em>nd his incomparably great power for us who believe\u201d<\/em> (Ephesians 1:18-19a \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
