Matthew 9:27-29

"And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.
And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this?  They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you."
Matthew 9:27-29


This seems to be the story of life to me... because we're all blind.  Because of the veil, because of our short-sightedness, because we let the darkness in... and we stumble through life, following who we will.  Hopefully Christ, because he is one of the very few who can truly see.  But, blind as we are, if we ask for sight, the Lord is willing to give it.  And, in everything, gives us as much as our faith is able to handle.  We get small miracles sometimes because that is the only size that we have faith in... but as we continue to ask for and receive sight... we see more and more clearly, and our minds and imaginations can grasp just a glimpse of what God sees.  Huge miracles happen everyday.  It is just up to us to believe in them, and work towards them.  The scriptures teach us nothing if they don't teach us about the power of the individual to change the world, and make a difference... but each and every person who made that kind of a difference had to believe in it first.  These two blind men... it was hard for them to follow Christ because they couldn't see where he was going.  But they persisted, despite the hardship, and continued to believe that their effort was worthwhile.  And in the end, they achieved their heart's desire.  That *is* the story of life... and can be part of each of our stories if we do as they did and follow Christ despite our blindness, plead with him for our heart's desire, and have faith in extra-large miracles. :)
