Read John 9:26-41.
The story of the blind man continues in our reading
for today. But notice that where the man begins in verse 1 is not where he
ends in verse 41. The man born blind begins by not knowing Jesus but ends by
responding to Jesus’ question in faith, “Lord,
I believe” (vs. 38). It
doesn’t matter where you begin the journey.
What matters is where you finish.
How is Jesus continuing to reveal Himself to you?
In what area(s) in your life is the Holy Spirit leading you to respond in
faith, “Lord,
I believe?”
"It doesn’t matter where you begin the journey. What matters is where you finish."
ReplyDeleteThis, so much this. And I would add - and who you become along the way.
I could look back over my life and see so many things that were "bad" or "went wrong." The blind man in scripture could certainly relate.
Or I could look back and marvel at where I am and who I am now, in spite of and because of those things.
Would I change anything? No...because more and more I see that God's plan is perfect, and He is day by day using my life to shape me into the person He designed me to be.
Romans 8:28 - All things work together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
