God generates faith. We all have time when we cannot see past the difficulties we are facing. Times when things look grim and our perspective is clouded by what we are not able to see. Being in relationship with God means trusting when there is no evidence to trust. It is demonstrating patience when we want to get frustrated. We live in a world where we rely on what we can see as proof of the realness of things. Being in relationship with God means sticking around even when we can’t see. The gift of blindness to evidence allows us to know if our relationship with God is based on outcomes or on connecting with love. When we cannot see the evidence we have a choice. Either continue trusting based on the love that we sense in our hearts or not. Either I believe God is everything or God is not. Blindness is not a test of faith it is an opportunity for a decision. We get to decide at each moment if our faith in love is based solely on what we can see or if love exceeds the parameters of what we can see with our eyes.
My prayer for us is the courage to embrace the elements of love that we see with blindness of eyes but sight of heart today.
If God is there whether we see God or not, how do you see love without your eyes when you go through your day? Share in the comments.
