We do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen
2 Corinthians 4:18
I received good news at my eye checkup last month my faraway vision has improved. Well, I thought it was good news until a friend informed me: "Faraway vision can improve as we age; close up vision may diminish."
The report made me think of another kind of improved faraway vision that U have observed in some Christians. Those who have known the Lord for a long time or who have gone through great trials seem to have a better heavenly vision than the rest of us. Their eternal eyesight has gotten better and their close-up "earthly" vision is diminishing.
Because the apostle Paul had that of eternal vision. he encouraged the church in Corinth "our light affliction. Which is but for a moment. Is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. . . the things which are not seen are eternal" (2 Cor. 4:17-18)
For now we struggle with our "eyesight." There is a tension between enjoying all that God. Is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodation s here." Seeing Him will bring perfect vision.
