Reflections: Jesus Heals A Man Born Blind

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. John 9:1-3

This passage from the Bible should remind us that we should not blame ourselves, our parents or anyone for our disability. But rather we should think of it as God's way for making us instruments to show the world of His infinite power, His great love and overflowing mercy.

Imagine, a painter without a canvass, a wood sculptor without a chisel, a doctor without a scalpel. Impossible isn't it? The greatest miracle worker has chosen us to take part in his masterpiece, by being instruments of love.

The miracle we expect might not happen today, tomorrow or perhaps not even in our lifetime. But little did we know that by touching other people's lives through our condition, we already took part in a miracle, the miracle of love and humility.

Rest assured that God has not abondoned us. Never lose hope. Always have faith. Everything happens for a reason. And in God's time all this will be revealed to you.
