Can one blind person lead another? Won’t they both fall into a ditch? – Luke 6:39(NLT)
CAN THE BLIND LEAD THE BLIND?
A poem and essay by ILMA
I struggled for many years with sin and foolishness
I rebelled and didn’t follow the path to righteousness
Because of my sins, the enemy blinded me from the truth
I was told many lies so subtly and then bitterness took root.
The enemy even made me believe that I can lead the blind
What an irony it is to think that, on my own I can have sight
The life I led was so hazy, dark and murky
When I let the Lord lead, I finally had victory.
________________________________________Visual impairment can limit people’s ability to perform everyday tasks and can affect their quality of life and ability to interact with the surrounding world. Like visual impairment is another debilitating form of disability called “spiritual blindness.” I was spiritually blind for many years of my life. I believed so many lies handed down to me from many generations. The enemy kept me from knowing the truth. Because I was in the dark, I looked for others who could lead me. But these people I ask to help me were also spiritually impaired like me; they didn’t know God too. I led a very confused and sinful life. The word of God is the only light that brings us out of darkness.
PRAYER
Lord, I pray for all those who cannot see the truth.
REFLECTION
What can keep us out of darkness in this life?
