How many of us have tried so valiantly to complete a job in the dark when we needed some type of light to do it correctly? I hate to admit it but that sounds like someone I know quite well. I’ve often wonder if I am a little brain dead or just a few bricks short of a load.
I am so thankful that God is patient and understanding. He permits me to stumble along in the dark just long enough to teach me very important lessons in life. I sometimes just have to laugh at my own stupidity. God still loves me but boy am I hardheaded.
I stumble along in the dark until a little light goes off and it is like, whoa did you see that?
I can see, I can see. Where did that light come from? The scales have been removed from my eyes I can see clearly. Lord, you are awesome.
I stumbled through life like a blind person and wondered why I have not accomplished anything worthwhile. When did Jesus go out and peach? Jesus went into the synagogues during the day now didn‘t He? He went go out to the mountainside when it was light didn’t He. Wake up Lulu Belle and go forth during the day not at night.
I can accomplish so much more when I can see what I’m doing and where I’m going. True I may need sunglasses because of the glare but hey, I can see. I get my work done in a timely fashion and it truly is a sight to see. My work is concise and it is done correctly. Now why did it take me so long to get something so simple into my hard head?
The one person I admire with such admiration that it goes beyond anything I can even begin to explain is Helen Keller. She was blind and deaf but she could see the beauty of Gods creation and hear it in a way that others could not. She accomplished so much in her life and made it count for something.
