I love your words today,
Lord Jesus Christ:
"Do you believe
that I can do this?"
(Matthew 9:28)
How amazing is this story,
so Advent because the season
calls us to believe,
to wait,
even to see you Jesus
even we cannot see
anything at all!
How can two blind men
follow you except by
merely listening,
even listen intently
when we who can see
cannot see you,
refuse to follow you,
refuse to believe you?
Like those two blind men,
we tell you today that
"Yes, Lord, we believe
you can make us see again."
Please do so.
Make it quick.
For we are so blinded
by the world's playful lights
including its darkness
so romanticized
that many drift
away from you.
Amen.
