James 1:19-27/ Psalm 15/

Gospel: Mark 8: 22-26

Mark 8:22-26Jesus Heals a Blind Man at BethsaidaThey came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.”

Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don’t even go into[a] the village.”

Bethsaida, during their time, is a place where most do not believe in God. Jesus on the gospel did 3 moves to finally have the man’s heart to God’s back. He led the man out of the place, spit on his eyes and finally touched his eyes with His hand. The man didn’t already see the clearest picture God wants him to see in the first move but eventually the images around him became clearest than ever.

I am a broadcast communication major student and describing our nature compared to others, most people are well fashioned, liberated and undeniably rhetorical. Public speaking is the name of our game. And for the years I’ve earned learning with the field I’m taking, I had been deceived by the culture that’s consistently happening. It took me a hard time to get of the crowded road we were all taking and I walk into the road where there are only a few . I could really get stuck and let myself be drawn into what the world has been feeding but I chose to let myself be drawn to my Master. I did take time to finally lose that double-personality while with them and with those few I’m walking my way with but I eventually find my way back to the Father with the child He wants me to be.

God reminds us that our hearts have the eyes to see the beauty in everything that’s happening to us. We just have to let them see the beauty hiding in the deceiving beauty the world’s letting us see. Furthermore, He will never be able to fully develop our story if we aren’t looking at Him nor are we willing to be guided by His light. But also remember that even though we sometimes get out of way, He will never give up on tying up that rubber band on our feet connected to His.
