a seeing-eye christmas
“Out of gloom and darkness, the eyes of the blind shall see.” —Isaiah 29:18
The Lord wants to give us a miracle for Christmas. He wants to give sight to the blind (Lk 4:18). Yet most people won’t admit they need sight because they are blind to being blind. Nevertheless, many have been spiritually blinded by the darkness of our times (1 Jn 2:11). Therefore, the recovery of our sight is a most needed Christmas gift.
If you’re willing to admit the possibility of spiritual blindness, cry out to the Lord: “Son of David, have pity” on me! (Mt 9:27) Persevere in this prayer, even if it seems nothing is happening at first. Eventually, Jesus will challenge you to grow in faith by questioning you: “Are you confident I can do this?” (Mt 9:28) By God’s grace, respond: “Yes, Lord” (Mt 9:28). Then Jesus will touch your eyes. First you will see your blindness as never before. Then you will see the Lord, and in His light, you will see light (Ps 36:10).
Prayer: Lord, “I want to see” (Mk 10:51) for Christmas.
Promise: “The lowly will ever find joy in the Lord, and the poor rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.” —Is 29:19
Praise: St. John of Damascus helped others to grow deeper in faith by writing many theological works and tracts about truth.
