With out God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit I am lame, blind, deaf, and dumb.
I Want To Be Like Jesus
Tears that blind
from words unkind.
O Lord heal my broken heart.
Tears that blind
From words unkind.
O Lord from this wicked way help me depart.
All You said and did and taught should be written on my heart.
Open up my ears and eyes that from Your ways I may not depart.
Give me wisdom help me understand.
Give me a heart and mind like Yours towards my fellowman.
Help me be more like You today.
I want to be like You in every way.
That all I do and say.
Will glorify and honor You more each day.
I Can't See
"I can't see! I can't see". says Curly "Why?", says Moe. "Because I got my eyes closed!", says Curly. I found out that I did have to be one of the three stooges to walk around with my eyes closed. When ever I refuse to or neglect to seek all the facts and the truth I am closing my eyes. Also when I refuse to accept the facts or the truth I am closing my eyes. Walking around with some of the facts and a little of the truth, is like walking around with my eyes open only a little. I can see just enough to keep going a little ways, but sooner or later I am going to stumble. It is like falling off a boat into the ocean. I can tread water for a while, and see just enough to see the boat. But I can't see the life preserver that is tossed to me. For so long I refused to seek the truth and the facts about Jesus and Christianity. So for a long time I walked around with only some facts and very little truth about Him and what Christian life was all about. It wasn't until I Got desperate that I came to Jesus. I didn't come seeking facts or truth. I came for help, I just didn't know where else to turn. For so long I thought I was a good person because I never hurt any one physically, and I was kind. So I thought I was ok with God. I didn't know the truth or recognize the fact that there are lots of ways to hurt people and your self with out realizing it. It didn't mean I was evil, just a little blind. Only when I accepted Jesus and started seeking Him and His will and His way. Did I start see more clearly. Only then did I start walking around with more facts and truth. This lead to more love and understanding and more peace. Life is still changing for me because I am still seeking Jesus and facts and truth. As long as I do I now can see. That as long as I do seek Jesus, facts, and truth I will see more clearly each day.
And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: hearing you will hear and shall not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive; for the heart of this people has grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, so that I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; for assuredly many prophets and righteous men desire to see what you see, and hear what you hear, and did not hear it. Matthew 13:14-17 ( This scripture is Jesus talking to His disciples about people who where there that hadn't accepted Him yet. Verse14-15 Then He talked to His disciples about themselves. Verse 16-17) When we accept Jesus we to become like them able to see and hear.) Remember that seeing and hearing isn't enough as it says in James 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. All of James 21-27 is about this.
