Blindness

Today, when i was on my way for work at the child care centre...like on the 961 bus, i closed my eyes and listened to a christian song...the Holy Spirit showed me things...

The Holy Spirit showed me the advantages of being blind...
In this world, there are several seeking and persuing material and the physical stuff. Things that they can see to ask for what they want...eg. statues.
They never really think and use their heart to understand it...
Being blind gives the blind an advantage to not see...
hmmmm....you may ask, huh? what do you mean?
Try closing your eyes and just quieten down your heart....
Try to think and imagine...without your eyes to see, what other tools can be used to see and feel what the other person is feeling...
If you are blind, what you will use is your heart...
You will use your heart to see..to see the world around you...to feel the people around you whether it is filled with love or hatred...don't you think so?
And the blind will find themselves feeling and understanding the love of God with their heart because they cannot see...
They also won't get distracted by the things around them and focus on God..cause it is like when we pray, we close our eyes to concentrate and focus...so, same concept.

Oh! the Holy Spirit led me to a previous verse that i didn't understand and question my friends about...it is John chap 9 verse 41 "Jesus said to them, 'If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, 'We see,' your sin remains."
At first i really do not have any clue on this...until now!
Because Jesus was talking to the pharisees that do not know him as the son of man, they do not actually see the truth...they can only see with thier physical eyes...
So if they say they see, they are lying...because actually they do not!

I was just sharing with my mum and sis about this particular story that touched me..
It was a story shared by Pastor Cui Xian...try to visualise!
There was 4 business men...they were like super late for their flight back home..
So they were like rushing for their flight in the airport..
4 of them were like running and sliding around...
then, they knocked into a stall selling apples..a girl was selling them..
all the apples fell onto the floor...
some were damaged..
However, the 4 business men ran away because they got no time to help her pick up the apples..
The last business man felt guilty.
So, he told the 3 other business men to tell his family that he will take the next flight and ask them to go first..
he turned around and went back to the fallen down stall..
he saw the girl frantically searching for her apples..
she was blind.
he went over and picked up the apples, separating the good ones from the damaged ones..
he took out his wallet and gave the girl money saying "i am so so sorry that your apples are damaged...here, this is to compensate for all the damage we have caused."
the blind girl took the money and when he was about to walk away, she said "wait, are you Jesus?"

God loves you all the time!
