Blindness

I think about blindness. I know a few people through my Amateur Radio Club that are completely blind. The other day I saw a blind person tapping his way down the halls of the VA Hospital. In the bible Jesus talks about Spiritual blindness and associating that with darkeness as well. The definition of darkness is the absence of light. Those that are lost are blinded spiritually. They cannot see the kingdom of God. John chapter 3 Nicodemus was confused when Jesus told him Except a man be "born again" he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus though he had to be physically born again when Jesus was actually referring to a Spiritual birth. Jesus was patient with Nicodemus. How many times have we lost our patience with a lost person who is "blind"? I am guilty of it as well. You dont tell a blind person to watch where he is going if he accidently bumps in to you. The guy is blind! He cant help it. Today I asked God to remind me that those that dont have Jesus Christ in their lives are blind they dont understand why I am the way I am. They say bible is confusing and "full of false truths". Well duh, it is going to be because they have not recieved Gods teacher. The Holy Spirit.

America is so full of "stuff". We have all kinds of stuff we can do and it crouds our minds and takes us away from the sole reason why we are here. It clouds our minds and we loose track of who gave us life in the first place. Here we are we over schedule our lives with all these different things (Christians included) and we have absolutely no time to give back to God. Kids sports, work, hobbies of all sorts just to name a few. Sometimes we focus on our families first before we ever focus on God. How many times have we done that or are currently doing that. Christian God didnt put you on this earth to be "BUSY" God put you on this earth to show others the path of salvation. So look at your life are you willing to sacrifice that time you have to focus on God or are you going to continue to be disobedient to Him and put him on the back burner? With me I have an accountability partner that makes sure that I am doing the right thing by putting God first before anything else! I am so thankful I have that accountability partner to keep me in check with my Christian walk and even my daily readings! They have my permission to let me know what I need to fix or change. It keeps you from going blind. Maybe you need one too?

I am looking forward to Guatemala because they dont have the things or stuff that we have so they have to time to sit down and focus and listen to the Gospel. I continue to pray that God will change my very essence as Novemeber approaches. Change the way I see people and see Him!
