The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are
good, your whole body will be full of light. But
if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be
full of darkness. If then the light within you is
darkness, how great is that darkness! - Mt
622-23.

IMPORTANCE Enormous
Things are not as they seem This is a world at
war Each of us has a crucial role to play If we
could believe that about our lives, and come to
know that it is true, everything would change.
We would be so much more able to interpret the
events unfolding around us, against us. We
would discover the task that is ours alone to
fulfill. We would find our courage. John
Eldredge, Wild At Heart

  the children of God.
