'That' I Do Not Know, 'This' I Know...

This were the words of a blind man who received sight. He was blind from birth and he had no idea about the person who had done this miracle for him. He only knew one thing:

He replied, "Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I do know, I was blind but now I see." John 9: 25

You see, I never really understood the intensity of these lines until 'the truth' dawned on me at many different points of my life.

And today I feel it again.

I'm sad that I cannot express it the way I'd like to.

Look. Today was not perfect. It wasn't fantastic. But it was a great feeling. And that's all there is to it. A lot of other people would have been happier to do a celebration dance. Or a lot of other people may have higher expectations of themselves.

I simply don't. It wasn't perfect (to re-emphasize my point). In fact nowhere close. I don't know what it''ll be like a few days from now. I don't know. I really don't!

To be honest, I've learnt to live from day to day.

But for now, I can only say that I feel thankful.

Maybe when we realize how much we don't deserve something and live to see it - we cannot deny the overwhelming joy!

So in my own words:

About that (the end outcome) I do not know! About this (the joy of feeling that I am not alone), I do know. It is simply real! You'll have no idea of even a fraction of what has been extended to me when I have not done anything to earn it. Oh, Lord, FATHER....
