Blind.

Powerful is the only word to describe this night, though I knew so few of the songs, it was the atmosphere as a whole that moved me. The large crowd that showed up, the worship band, the girl painting on the side. As I sat in the back I really listened to the words being sang, I watched the people around the room worship Jesus, some stood others knelt, some sat others lay on the ground, eyes opened, eyes closed, hands up, hands closed, some danced; so many different ways of worshiping Jesus and it is so neat to see how individuals go about doing that. It makes me think, how do I worship Jesus? Yes I lift my hands, yes I dance, but is it only through music that I worship him? Or do I worship him in my day to day things, in my actions, in my hobbies and interests, in my everything. That is what I should be doing, I feel that I need to be broken, I need to be blind because I think I see and I think I know, but I don’t know anything, I got it all wrong. I need Jesus and I need to be living for him and only him in everything I do each moment of each day.

A girl tonight, she got up on stage and she played the piano and sang, she sang “My Chains are Gone,” this girl was blind, and it really just moved me, seeing this girl up there worshiping Jesus, it was so unbelievably powerful. She was blind and in that moment I wanted what she had, I wanted to be blind to the world and just feel the presence of God moving within me. She loved Jesus so much and you could see that so clearly, she was such a light up on that stage, she shone throughout the room.

I think the problem with so many people is we get caught up in the worldly things, in what we can see and so easily we find ourselves in situations or problems, but if your like me you will think your strong, and you will think that you can handle it on your own, these are the moments where we need to be blind because the truth is we cant handle it on our own, we need God, we need to give up our worries and our hurts to him. You can’t hide things from him, its impossible. Shut our eyes, and be blind to the things of the world that will tear us down, that will pull us back, that will cause us to stumble, and fix our eyes on Jesus.
