“I don’t know whether he is a sinner,” the man replied. I was blind and now I can see.
-John 9:25(NLT)
WAS BLIND AND NOW CAN SEE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you find yourself struggling to understand life?
When we live in sin for so long, we lose God’s insight
Whenever we decide to wallow in rebellion
We suffer the consequence of this decision.
Why do you continue to live in darkness?
God wants you to live in righteousness
Once we were blinded by the world
Christ saved us by his blood and his word.

The bible says that those who are constantly living in sin will not be able to see things the way he sees it. As soon as we allow sin to live in our hearts, you open the door for the enemy to get you enslaved by different lies and sins. I remember the many years that I lived in darkness because of my choice to rebel. I was hurt and deprived of love in my growing years, but I had a choice to forgive and release all these people who traumatized me. Instead, I clung to the pain and carried it for many decades. It brought me to a constant state of panic and confusion. Satan entered my heart’s door and infiltrated it with so many lies. Only Christ can heal and make the blind see.
PRAYER
Thank you for healing those who are blind.
REFLECTION
What were the things you didn’t see when you were living in sin?
