Eyes to see

I send you to open their eyes so that they pass from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they receive, by faith in me, the forgiveness of sins and a share of inheritance with the Saints. Acts 26:18

The blind man, Bartimaeus, threw off his coat and ran, trembling towards Jesus. And Jesus said : "What do you want me to do for you ?" He said : "My master, let me regain my sight." At that time, saying : "My master," his spiritual eyes opened. And Jesus said : "Your faith saved you." Notice - not your intellectual understanding, not your money, not your works - but your faith. Faith ! That's all it takes ! Immediately Bartimaeus, who had been blind all his life, began to open his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the face of Jesus. What an experience : opening your eyes and looking directly at the strong and tender face of Jesus ! Bartimaeus met Jesus and the text says that he "followed Jesus on the way". When you return to your business, your home, your neighborhood, your friends or your school, you are not going alone. Christ accompanies you.

Prayer for the day

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for healing me from my spiritual blindness !
