When I lost the vision on one eye, I thanked God and praised Him. Thenconfessing I would rather keep all my vision, I offered Him the vision of the other eye too. It did go away for a short time, and I thanked Him, but then it returned again in thae good eye. This was a miracle, but I tell you the real miracle was being able to see more clearly without vision..
That was almost 30 years ago, and since my vision has ebbed ever so slowly, and I thankYahweh for the condition for I am not worthy to be in the company of such illustioous forefathers as Abraham, Isaaac and Jacob, not to mention a prophet or two wh also had vailing vision in their waning years. Yes, I am blesse, and I want any who read tis to thank God with me for this miracle, amen.
I was born with cataracts and always viewed the world with a fuzy haze. I always thought that with age I would eventually go blind. It hasn't happened yet, but there are times when the lights are so bright my headaches and I just have to close my eyes and trust God to lead me. (normally He provides someone to hold my hand at those times.)
I have been told I could have surgery and have it "fixed" but I figured God made me this way and until He tells me to have it removed or removes it Himself. I will keep it as a reminder to be humble.
I may not see the physical world as clearly as others, but it has caused me to lean more on God's strength and less on my own understanding because I know that much of what I see may not be reality. It may just be my mind making up stories to fill in the hazy parts of my vision.
So I was going to say that when my physical vision fails, I turn to God and He gives me spiritual eyes to see the world not as I think it is but as how He wants it to be.
Often I hear things like "he is just a no good drunk and drug addict." or "she is an adulterer and neglects her kids."
But God says "that is who they are now, but with love this is who they could be...."
So we can't solve all the world's problems but I believe it's our Father's will to hold out our hands to the lost and remind them of God's love and forgiveness.
Sometimes all we have to give is love and a prayer.
Sometimes thats enough to change a life.

Sorry for the rambling, hope it makes sense and the grammar police don't ticket me.
