Blindness, whether physical or spiritual, is also about what we are failing to see. Did you ever stop to realize that the very first words that God speaks in the Bible are these, “Let there be light.” The very first words of God are to make it possible for our eyes to see the beauty of His creation; to see His presence that is all around us. When we are spiritually blind – that is really the heart of the matter – we are blind because we have failed to see God who is right in front of us; all around us; speaking to our hearts; speaking to our lives. Surely, we’re not blind too, are we? That question is meant to echo in our hearts today. And the answer is yes, we are blind to the degree that we fail to see God around us. Can we see Him here, in this Church? Do we see Him present in His Word and Sacrament; in each other? More importantly, what happens when we walk out of those doors? Do we see Him there? In our husbands and wives; in our sons and daughters; in our friends and family and co-workers? How about in the homeless person, the drug addict, the lost and the forsaken? How about the immigrant, the prisoner, the enemy? afriarslife.blogspot/2014/03/lord-that-i-may-see.html
