God and Blindness

Some readers may be wondering how I can be a Christian when i am blind. Some may think I should be bitter at God for allowing me to be blind. I am thankful that I am not bitter at all. There are certainly things that are difficult about being blind, but overall God has given me a great life. Paul wrote about the thorn in his flesh in2 Corinthians. He said that he would rather boast in His infirmities, that God’s grace was sufficient. I can’t say I feel that way all of the time, but God has allowed me to have a positive attitude most of the time. I also know that I will be able to see once I am in heaven and my body will be made new. So I am willing to put up with blindness and hearing loss for a bit longer, knowing that eternity will be so much better. God has also given me the skills and technology that I use to combat the problems of blindness today, so that even now i am able to live a pretty independent life. Praise God for that. If you are struggling with bitterness and discouragement, give it to God and look at the positives both in this life and the life to come. I hooope you will come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ, remembering that He died on the cross for you and has forgiven you of all your sins if you accept his offer of forgiveness. Thanks for reading.
