DANIEL 180: BLIND TO SIGHT / DARKNESS TO LIGHT

My Redeemer said, "Do you really want to see?

I thought, "but I can see! What is He really asking me?"

As I stood there thinking what to say and He said,

"do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10

I could only respond as Ezekiel did in the Ancient Scrolls found in Qumran. I said,

"O Lord GOD, thou knowest."

As my Redeemer and the disciples were walking they saw a blind man on the road. His disciples said,

"Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" John 9:2

My redeemer looked puzzled wondering why His disciples would cast judgement like this on this poor man and his parents.

My Redeemer said, "no one caused this! That's not why he is blind! He is Blind so my father in heaven will be glorified!"

I said, "Lord why do we always blame you when unfortunate things happen in life?

People think you are playing some type of game of rewards and punishment for all to see. Is this true my Lord?"

My Redeemer said,

"I know! The self righteous religious people use this 'game' as a way to manipulate people. I'm not that way! Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:29

Then He said, "This really concerns me that my disciples were so quick to judge."

"People have a tendency to cast judgement and accuse people for unfortunate circumstances that happen in their lives. I would rather have them respond with Grace."

"The Religious People misrepresent Me and act as if life is a balancing act of good works equating to My blessings and evil resulting in My punishment."

"This is what blinds people My friend."

Then I said, "So who is really blind? Is this man blind or the people that are quick to make judgements, point fingers and draw conclusions?"

Then my Redeemer touched the man and healed him.

So when the people saw the blind man that wasn't blind any longer they were amazed. They were asking him what had happened and who it was that healed him? The blind man said, "some great person named
Jesus."

The formerly blind person went on to say. "I don't know what where or why. All I know is that yesterday I was blind and today I see!"

My Redeemer said, "it's really that simple bro and the same is true for you! Yesterday you were blind with anxiety, fear, shame and confusion. Today you are able to see beyond the unfortunate situations and see My Father's hand in all if it.

This is what I meant when I asked you if you would like to see. Do you want to have a great outlook and vision of life? Do you want to see a great future with Faith and Hope?

"I came to heal the blind, feed the poor, free the captives and heal broken hearts!"

"My Father in Heaven is Glorified when we go from blind judgement to seeing Grace in all."

Now just Go! Tell everyone this Great News!
