Blinde kan sien!
Peter spent a few years trying to cope with his blindness, learning ways of looking after himself so that he wasn’t so much a burden upon his family, although they still continued to visit on the odd occasion. He also learned how to read Braille. Then one day he was informed that there was a new cure for certain types of blindness, and he resolved to get some more information. The information was found, much to Peter’s joy, that it could possibly work on him, although there was no guarantee that is would work. But Peter felt that it was well worth the try, for what would he not do to get his sight back? So he booked an appointment with the surgeon. There was much time spent in waiting and much anxiety, but the day finally came for the dreaded operation. And to cut a long story short, the operation was a success and, to an extent, Peter had regained his vision. He could see again. Peter was a new man; he saw the world in a completely different light. He woke up looking at the young nurse that was looking after him; he thought she must be the most beautiful girl in the whole world. Then another nurse walks in asking how he feels, and he thinks that she too looks so beautiful, surpassing the beauty of all other women. Soon Peter is taken outside, and he sees the trees, the flowers, the blue sky, he sees people with smiling faces, and he feels like he has died and gone to Heaven. He even asked the nurse, “Am I in Heaven?” You see what’s happened: all has been dark to Peter, but now he sees the light and everything looks beautiful! 1 JOH. 1:7 Maar as ons in die lig wandel soos Hy in die lig is, dan het ons gemeenskap met mekaar; en die bloed van Jesus Christus, sy Seun, reinig ons van alle sonde. Een vraag? IS JY IN GOD SE LIG? Bedink dit weer? Nie in JOU lig nie – maar GOD SE LIG? Baie mense lewe ‘n lewe in hul eie lig en dink dit is reg en dat dit is ook God se weg – terwyl dit nie so is nie! Hul denke en tradisies het vir hulle die lig geword, Terwyl God verlang dat ONS moet verander en in Sy LIG wandel. GEBED Here, kom deur U Heilige Gees en toon my waar ek nie in U lig wandel nie? AMEN
