That the eyes of our heart may be enlightened so that we know what God has called us to and the rich inheritance that we can have among God\u2019s people. That is something that so many of us long for, to have that enlightenment on exactly what God has called us to do. I love how it involves the Church (God\u2019s people) as in that our calling will involve other people, we are not a one and only show, and through those people we will find God\u2019s rich inheritance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGod has given us inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWho are we?
