TODAY’S WORD…

.

The blind man called out,

“Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

.

Jesus asked him,

“What do you want me to do for you?”

.

“Lord, I want to see,” he replied.

.

Jesus said to him,

“Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.”

.

Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God.

When all the people saw it, they also praised God.

.

– Luke 18:38,41-43 (NIV)

REFLECTION…

.

The Lord heals and strengthens our spirit

whenever we go before Him with humility and faith.

He removes our spiritual blindness

and He fills us with love and peace, joy and hope.

.

We should grab every opportunity we have to seek out Jesus.

.

“Lord, I want to see!”

This is how we must pray

– with conviction, with urgency, with constancy

and with simplicity.

This is how we should believe.

.

“Lord, I want to see!”

This simple prayer should be often on our lips,

flowing from the depths of our heart.

It is a very good prayer to use in moments of doubt and indecision,

when we cannot see any light at the end of the tunnel we may find ourselves in,

when we cannot understand the reason behind God’s plans.
