Behold, I give you

    a wise and discerning mind...

I give you also

   what you have not asked...

               1 Kings 3. 12-13

(God says,

     "Ask what I shall give you."

And how do we answer Him?

For stuff, fame, accomplishment?

    Or a heart and mind aligned with His?

Seek first the kingdom of God

          and His righteousness

   and all the rest will be given.

We are so distracted

    by one dimensional wants

that we cannot see more than a dot.

God enlarges our vision

     by adding two dimensions

              of height and breadth.

And even that is not enough.

God opens up a third dimension,

    the way of seeing deeper,

    an enlarged heart.

But God gives even more

      when we seek Him.

The fourth dimension

          is the awe of God.)

O LORD,

There is so much more

            to this life

than we can comprehend.

Enlarge our hearts

   and open up our vision

that we would be

    above all things,

       faithful to You.

And above all things,

  that You would be

           fruitful through us.

Grant to us, O LORD,

    an understanding mind,

    eyes that see in the dark

           and through steel

           and even underwater,

    and enlarged hearts

          that respond to You,

      to see dimensions

           far beyond circumstances,

      and to love and treat others differently,

because we love You.
