Can a blind man lead a blind man? Can I help somebody, when I am deeply in trouble? Amazingly enough, sometimes the question is yes. Even though a blind man cannot lead a blind man to destination, a lame and a blind can help each other. So, I cannot help, where I need help, But I can give help in many other ways. Being clear about my own failures will be a first step towards knowing where this I can help. Or where it needs help, since we all need help in some part of the being. Matthew 15:31 The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. This is the wonderful thing with Jesus. He gives what a person needs. He gave sight to the blind and made the lame walk straight. God can do that. He can give, what a person truly needs. This may not always be the expected or dreamed of goal. It may be joy or friendship or health or work or patience. What HE considers the biggest need. The thing someone is apt to receive. God is good. Very good. Amazingly and dazzlingly good. But some may remember the old story of the ass and the dog. The ass gave with all his love his hay to the dog. The dog loves his friend so much, that he gave all his best meat and bones to him. With all the love they shared, they were not very happy, for their needs were not met. 8And eventually they will starve to death both if nobody interferes. Not so God. he gives what is needed. Needed for education, needed for growth, needed for holiness. In God, someone may go hungry, but his soul will live. He is the one who sees. He sees all need and he is the one to lead the blind home.
