Blind

The earth, O Lord, is full of your steadfast love; teach me your statutes! -

Psalm 119:64

The darkness is pervasive.  I look around and everywhere I look I see destruction and anger and hate and hurt.

I am blind.  And I shouldn’t be. But it is what I’ve chosen.

The earth, in spite of my sightlessness, is full of God’s steadfast love.  It is everywhere to be seen in his creation.  Ubiquitously. Forgive me.  I am blind.

Teach me. Teach me Lord, to see.  Teach me how to live.  Teach me how to love.  Teach me how to create.  Teach me how to heal.

Help me. I’ll start small.  Help me to grow.

Now. 

I’m blind.  I want to see.
