John 9:25
“One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”
This man who had been born blind did not know a great deal.
But what he did know, he knew with certainty: I was blind, now I see.
Perhaps you are saying the same: I was blind, but now I see. I see now that I have never received that which I need and which God offers to give, namely, assurance.
I see now that I have deceived myself by hoping for the best instead of making every effort to be clear in my relationship toward God.
Now I will not give up until I know what it is that has been acting as a barrier between God and me.
Jesus met the man born blind and helped him to personal faith in the Son of God, a faith which led him to fall down before Him and say, “I believe, Lord!”
Jesus would have a meeting with you also.
If you will enter into your room, close the door, and begin to speak in all sincerity and confidence with your Savior, you will find that He will meet with you and answer you.
Then take your Bible and read, and He will make clear to your conscience what it is that shuts you out from Him day after day. Every time you feel that you have done anything against Him, tell it to Him.
He tells you in His Word that if you will confess He will forgive you your sin. When you look to Him in His suffering and death, you will receive courage to believe His Word.
If you will begin thus to go in and go out each day with your Savior in the privacy of your own room and of the Word, you will soon be able to say with a new meaning: “One thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.” You will see not only your sins, but also the Lamb of God who bore all your sins.
Then you will have received the gift not only of faith, but also of assurance.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
