Luke 18:42-43
“Have sight;
your faith has saved you”. He
immediately received his sight and followed Him, giving glory to God.
The cry echoes clearly
two-thousand years ago as it is today, “Jesus, have pity on me!” But most of the time, once we received what
we need, we again go back to our previous wrongdoings, totally forgetting God,
until that next disaster.
Jesus taking out afflictions not because He
wants to, but because that person believes and have faith in Him. The blind man's persistence and his urgent
calls for help were rewarded as others before had been rewarded for their
persistence.
Let us be rewarded because of our
faith. Ask for pity in all humility as we
are absolutely dependent upon Him, Who is our only hope.
And it should not stop there…
We should invite Him in out hearts, seeing
with the eyes of faith. Perhaps dimly at
first and in need of correction, but nevertheless focused on the source of life
and light that the Lord is offering to all of us.
And we continue to see the light with and
for Him…
Make sure we never go blind again and
continue to see. These drastic changes
in our lives should also be permanent and plain for all to see. May others see all the good and right things
in us so they may know that the Lord our God is really a merciful and loving
God.
Let us pray +
Almighty
Father, forgive me for my
unbelief. Renew my faith with the unstoppable faith that Bartimaeus
possessed. Let me be quick to praise God
and to follow you in the Way. In Jesus'
name, I pray. Amen +
Give me life, O Lord, and I will do your commands.
