Praying that our hearts be enlarged is similar to wanting to see the unseen realities taking place all around us. Developing the eyes to see His kingdom at work, and to witness His righteousness rule I’ve brokenness and sin is getting a glimpse of what is to come at His return. The world is divided between those who are seeking / searching for God and those who resist or don’t care. May God revive a holy curiosity to what He is doing. May our fire be ignited to live for Him and not ourselves.
“Every day you and I walk through God's shop. Every day we brush up against objects of incalculable worth to Him. People. Every one of them carries a price tag, if only we could see it.” - John Ortberg, Love Beyond Reason
To speak about depth means that there is more going on than what we see on the surface. To love deeply or care deeply or value deeply means we have devoted time and effort and thought. To suffer deeply means to be wounded at the soul level. “Depth” is an expression of spiritual vastness.
