One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Observation: Before Jesus entered my life I was blind and walking around aimlessly.  I couldn\u2019t see anything but myself.  I didn\u2019t see what God wanted for my life, I didn\u2019t notice the people that surrounded me.  I lived in the darkness and refused to see anything else.  After Jesus opened my eyes I saw the people and their needs, I saw how God designed me to help, I saw a purpose for my life that I didn\u2019t see before.  I was able to see God in a world that I wanted to leave.<\/p>\n<p>Application: Now that Jesus has opened my eyes I need to be on the lookout for what He desires of me.  I need to listen to the small voice within me and allow it to guide me.  I need to look beyond myself and see the life God wants me to live and not be so short sighted.  I want to be able to see through God\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for opening this blind man\u2019s eyes and taking me by the hand and walking me down the path you have chosen for me.  Please don\u2019t let go and open my eyes to your wonders and the desires of your heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture: John 9:25 He replied, &#8220;Whether he is a sinner or not, I don&#8217;t know.
