Lord let me see again

 

Lord let me see again.

LORD LET ME SEE AGAIN.

Lent has started now of course and you probably have wondered why I have not started a Lenten series.  The reason is that recently I have had eye surgery and I have not been able able to do any computer work as I have not been able to see.  Hopefully this will improve as time goes by and as I continue to do the eye drops regularly.

I am hoping that next week I will be able to see more when I collect my prescription glasses too.  This I hope will be a turning point towards being able to see more.

During this time however, it reminded me of how important our senses are and how often I take them for granted.  I cannot tell you how grateful I am now for my eye sight.   It also reminded me of the Gospel story where the blind man asks  Jesus ' Lord let me see again'.  I can tell you that this short request has been very much of my prayer life during this time.

I hope that your Lent so far has been fruitful.  If it has been like mine, it is not too late to review and start afresh.  I need to do that.

Because of my recent eye surgery I have also realised that I need inner sight and Lent is a great time to review my life and see my life with fresh eyes.. with the eyes of Jesus gazing on me with mercy.

Being able to see with inner eyes is a gift I would love to receive during this Lent.  What is the gift you would like to receive for your life this Lent?
