I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW

Their is a phenomenon called blind sight where following certain types of brain lesions, patients have an inability to see objects, but if asked to guess the location of the object they are able to point at them with reasonable accuracy. I can't help but wonder if maybe some of those patients are not completely blind, but may be perceiving themselves as such, due to the fact that their vision has decreased so dramatically from what they are used to that they become certain that they must be blind.When pressed to give an answer on where something may be located the evidence shows that they may have retained some of their vision after all...now I'm no scientist this is just a theory of mine but I wanted to use the subject of blind sight as an example. How many of us are walking around with blind sight? Sometimes in life our vision can get so distorted that we start believing that our situation-what ever that situation hampering our life happens to be-is impossible and totally unchangeable, in effect we take what is quite possibly a lie and make it an actuality. What happens when we take our blinders off? Why, the possibilities are endless... :)

Jesus is Mighty to Save

The joy of the Lord is our strength...it is not contingent on outward circumstances, feelings, or what we can readily see. God is strong, He is mighty to save, and like the good Father that He is, He cares about every area of our lives. He desires that in all things we would prosper, even as our soul prospers. He is never far away from our cries, no matter how isolated we may sometimes feel, He is closer than our very breath. No matter what raging sea lies before you threatening to engulf your very life, remember that we serve a God who can still the waves. No matter what furnace you find yourself standing in, remember that we have a Lord who walks in the fire with us, and keeps us from being burned by the flames . Is anything too hard for God? Trust Him, at the appointed time He will move on your behalf. “In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18:6‬ ‭ESV‬‬ http://bible.c

Blindsided

Sometimes the things you don’t see coming in life can blindside you the most: such as a family member being diagnosed with one of those scary words, that somewhere in the back of your mind you thought was reserved for TV medical dramas. I’ve learned that God is so much bigger than any fear that may try to creep into our heart. We’re human: flesh, and blood, God remembers our frame that we are dust...but He is eternal, our God who gives strength to the weak, and power to the powerless. I remember at what felt like my most hopeless moment, in a pit of disbelief at what was happening around me, and feeling so utterly alone, suddenly I could feel God’s Presence, palpably...it felt like I was surrounded totally, in His arms. The angst, and worry flew away, and I was completely at peace, and felt I could get through the rest of the day. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, and is available to give us this comfort if we will come to Him. We don’t have to have it all together. Perhaps in your momen

BEAUTIFUL EYES

These eyes of mine they see into the heart-right to the very core of you, Footsteps treading on promises untold and avoiding fragile dreams, When I sleep my soul grows wings and flies to faraway lands, Up up up she soars until she reaches a distant star, With eyes wide shut I smile because she takes me where you are,
