While my team was spending our last week at Sarah’s Covenant Homes God decided to show me his infinite wisdom through a blind girl. I had seen this precious child throughout the month but with 105 other children surrounding me it was hard to reach her. Instead of me seeking after her she found me when I was playing with a different child. Her first physical expression was to rub her hand over my arm then she immediately jumped in my lap eager to experience love and comfort. In that moment I decided to embrace this child even if she was, in American standards, to old for me to hold. While I was holding her I noticed everything about her from her joyful face to her curiosity about who I was. After awhile I tried to stand up and she was not going to let me go. My arms grew weary from holding this child but I wanted to show her the love that she deserved. When one of the Indian nurses saw that I was struggling to hold her up she decided to intercede, and to move the child away from me. Well one thing that I do have is determination so I went to find the child, and she was next to railing on the balcony just taping on the wall. She was just trying to feel something, just trying to find some comfort, just trying to find some hope, and just seeking after something more. I walked over to her and once again she rubbed my arm to see if it was something more. When she came across the watch on my arm she knew it was me, and jumped right into my arms. There is so much wisdom in this type of love and God was willing to show me this through his gracious daughter.
This incident helped me to notice that I have been fully blind! We are all like this girl and we are always seeking after something more while being blind to the fact the something more is always right next to us. We go through are lives seeing the worldly things but being blind to spiritual truthfulness found in Jesus Christ. In my life there have been plenty of worldly things that control my life, and since they are a priority I seek truth, life, and joy in those things. But the Father says to the Blind I am the truth, life, joy, love, comfort, strength, and etc.
Matthew 13:15-17: For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them. But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
A calloused heart describes a lot of people that inhabit this earth because so many things in this world have consumed our hearts, and make it so difficult for God to reside there. He wants all of us so bad, and he will always be chasing after us all you have to do is reach out, call out, run towards, embrace, sacrifice, and let him consume you with his all consuming love! God is ready for your heart to be opened and he wants to pick you up so he can see the joy you receive from him, and so he can witness you resting on his shoulder for eternity. I challenge everyone to ask God to give them eyes to see so that you can embrace the one that is over all. I have noticed my blindness, and I’m asking God to give me spiritual eyes so that my eyes will have a different set of lenses that will be out of focus in the world but in focus for the me to see the spirit move! God is here, and his healing is happening throughout the world, so be open to spirit and move when he tells you to move. There is no denying HIM, and he will either drag you to the place he wants you or you will come seeking after him wanting more. I suggest you seek after him but either way he will find you, and your life will be forever changed. So I call out myself, and all of my brothers and sisters to always seek after the one who has total authority so that He can satisfy you like nothing else can.
