I was blind, but now can see

  At church today, the sermon was on the topic of Jesus healing a blind man.
Have you ever thought about how miraculous this event is?
Can you fathom only being able to see darkness?
Everyday- whether day or night.
 I think about how easily I get cabin fever  or when its raining outside and how restless I become.
When the sky is gray and gloomy, our mood typically shifts, but not in a good way.
 If all you saw was darkness, would you be depressed?
How would you describe your everyday emotion?
"I am the light of the world"
 Jesus literally helped the man see the light, the creation and gave him life. 
 Jesus is my light and song in the midst of so much chaos. 
There have been so many times throughout my life where I was blind.
God reveals things to us at certain times.
 I sat in church today thinking and pondering all that God revealed to me.
All that He is revealing right now
and wondering what He will reveal to me next.  

 I think about when I thought my worth came from people and relationships.
I used to change my personality to cater toward those surrounding me.
 I was dependent on my own strength.
 I thought I wanted to be a nurse.

 I found out that I do not have to earn God's love.
 I am adopted as His child.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
 I was created with a unique purpose. 
I am dependent on his strength.
