I laid awake last night with things running through my mind and I over heard Pastor TJ Jakes preach a sermon. It was about a man who was born blind. Jesus one day paid him a visit and healed him. After he was healed he went out and he had a whole new kind of problem awaiting…..people questioning him on how he was healed, how he could see. They questioned him and questioned him, yes eve his family……but I love his answer……..John 9: 25 He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”
You know I can relate with this blind man, as I am sure all of us could. At one time I was completely blind to the things of God, and sadly still today sometimes I let the noise of this world blind me still. I never had peace, I was completely weary of life, my heart was broken, I was not walking but running down the wrong road. I hurt so many people. And now people are still standing there didn’t you use to drink? Aren’t the girl who was very out spoken and down right hateful? Aren’t you the lady who wanted to just give up on life??? And it finally hit me last night……..they don’t question me to hurt me…….. the devil tries to get them to question me to tear me down and allow reproach come to my Lord.
It is okay not to know all the when, wheres, and hows……….it okay to not have all the right words, all he wants us to do is keep proclaiming to the world………All I know is now I can see…………
Lord I come to you today and ask you to give us a knew vision. Let us begin to see things as if we were looking through your eyes. Help us realize that we won’t have all the answers but what we do have is the ability to to pray for guidance from you. And Lord give your people the boldness they need in this day and time to PROCLAIM ALL I KNOW IS NOW I CAN SEE AND ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE ONE WHO GAVE ME MY VISION BACK>>>>>>>>>>
Forever your servant,
