Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes 
were opened, 
his sight was restored, and he saw 
everything clearly.
Mark 8:25 NIV
I wonder if Mark is trying to tell us something here as the man's eyes were opened,
and then his sight was restored, 
and then he saw.
Can we be looking but not really see. 
Not see the world through the Creators eyes.
Not see people as God does (dearly loved, chosen, adopted, precious, image bearers etc)
Not see ourselves as God does (dearly loved, chosen, adopted, precious, image bearers etc)
It's with Jesus help, His healing that this man could see clearly again. 
Because I'm blind to it there's areas where I don't realise it. 
Has God ever changed your heart in an area, opened your eyes to something?
If He could, what would that be for you?
I wonder what would happen if I asked people "what is my blind spot?
Where can't I see?"
What if I prayed that prayer?
Let's let Him walk with us outside the village and touch our eyes.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
