According to your faith be it done to you.’ And their eyes were opened.
Mt.9:29
Two blind men follow Jesus begging to have their sight restored. They may have been beggars but they had the currency that Jesus could use. Faith.
Being a convert, I am drawn to the Gospel stories of the blind being given sight. I was once totally blind to Jesus.
Initially it was the faith of others that helped me see Jesus, reflected in the lives they lived. This led to questions and as these were answered my faith slowly grew. I began seeing Jesus dimly, like a tree in the fog.
Then, a simple children's song blew the fog away and revealed him to me. "Jesus loves me, this I know...". Love gave me faith and faith gave me sight.
Remembering this this morning makes me thankful for my sight, both physical and spiritual. As today's psalm declares, "I am sure I shall see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living."
