Blind

"....he was born blind so that God's works may be revealed in him." John 9:3b

Questioning 

Jesus' authority

(We are blind)

Young people searching for their niche in this world,

not quite seeing where they belong

(We are blind)

Not recognizing that the best way to care for one's own needs 

   is to put the needs of others first

(We are blind)

Idolatry - finding gods in wealth, superiority, belongings - 

   things that do not last.

(We are blind)

Forgetting that God is moving ahead of us, 

present for us always, all ways 

(We are blind)

Congregations in turmoil,

thinking inwardly instead of outwardly

(We are blind)

Reckless use of God's creation,

not giving consideration to consequences of our actions

(We are blind)

Our nation

thinking we are superior to other nations

(We are blind)

Choosing fear

Over trust in you

(We are blind)

We are blind ~

Gives us sight, Lord,

So that your works may revealed through us.

- Helen Keller - 

In many ways, she really could see!
