So, apparently this first week of March has been a good one. It has been very spiritual, which I don't mind, and eye opening. I guess it all started on Sunday at church. The pastor was speaking about the blind man in John chapter 9 and brought up a very good point about it.
The blind man wasn't blind with his vision, but he was blind to the truth. When Jesus gave him his sight, well, he was able to see both literally and spiritually. He was no longer incomplete. but growing towards completion. I personally thought that this was awesome and realized that I have spots in my life where I am blind.
Now, here comes the part that I really like. The pastor said that we need to get out pf the darkness (our blindness) and get into the light. Once we get into the light, then our lives will feel more complete. They will not be perfect, but God will be there to help you since you are open for His help. All we need to do is step into the light.
Living in Ohio, you don't really get the chance to step in the literal sense of a light. Apparently this state does not like to have sunshine sometimes. Well, yesterday the sun was out and I swear the day was better because of it. A lot more people were outside trying to get into the light and to change from the dark winter to a brighter spring.
This leads me back to the blind man. If people love going out and stepping into the sun light, why is it so hard to actually follow the son? The sun gives us a temporary joy until one of the clouds blocks its rays for a little bit of time. But the Son never has anything blocking it from coming to you, except yourself. The sun gives warmth and some joy. The Son eternally gives you warmth, love, joy and protection.
I feel as if we need to step into the light more often so our lives can be changed. The beauty of the sun will one day pass, but the Son is eternal and will give us so much light that even the darkest place will not be dark, because He is there.
