The story, as Jesus tells it

Ever been told to keep quiet about your pain? This man was. He sat begging by the road, unseen. Then he heard I was near.

He called out my name. They told him to hush. He only shouted louder. So I stopped and asked. He wanted to see.

He could see, and he chose to walk with me. Being heard changes a person. So what pain have you been told to keep quiet?

A verse to hold on to

“And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.”

Mark 10:51-52 (KJV)
