14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Eph. 3.14-19
How I pray these word by Paul for the deaf. I have lost count of how many deaf in America that I have met have only a knowledge of salvation. How many deaf that have been saved are in a situation to actually learn about Christ in such a way that the knowledge would totally transform their lives forever? To be honest how many Christians (Hearing or Deaf) have ever come to that point of a life changing experience with the Lord?
I cannot help but think of Isaiah when he finally got a true picture of God, High and Lifted up. Once he saw Who God truly was and is, that he saw himself for who he was (and we are the same) a sinful man unworthy of God's love. Yet God loved Isaiah and us enough to send His very best to die for us. Yet how many of us are willing to do the same in return, to give God our very best (as weak as it may be) and our all. yet it seems we give back just enough to cover our route to heaven. It is my goal and desire to give my best and all to Him. I have learned that by so doing, is the ONLY WAY to true happiness and a life worth living.
