MESSAGE:
The story was told of a young girl who was born blind. When she was twelve years old, doctors were able to develop a new type ot surgery that could give her sight. She was then booked for the surgery. After operation, the eyes had to be protected from light for some time. So, within that period, she still sat in darkness, waiting. Meanwhile, her mother spent long hours daily answering her questions about what things would look like when she eventually sees. Finally, the moment came when her eyes could endure enough light for her to look out the window. She stood there a long time without saying a word. To her, the spring day and everything looked so beautiful and glorious beyond description. When the girl turned to her mother, tears were streaming down her cheeks. She said, “Oh, mother, why didn’t you tell me it would be so beautiful?

2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
