Blind

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.


Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'" Matthew 25:34-40

I am blind. Blind to the horrors forced onto so many people. Blind to the thousands of children that die in pain and hunger every day. Blind to the world crying out for love and compassion. I sit comfortably in my "luxurious" lake-front house in front of my two computers, snacking all day and driving my "fancy" car to the store to buy whatever my heart desires. Lord, give me vision!
