"Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it."
He shouted, "Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!"
"What do you want me to do for you?" He replied, "Lord, please let me see." Luke 18:17, 38, 41
Advent Day 18 - the wonders of a child. What do children and a blind beggar have in common? A vivid imagination! An innocence to accept what they hear for they can not see. Jesus is very plain in His words, you are sitting at His feet. The blind mind could not see but had super sensitive hearing, the preaching he heard painted the true reality that many can not see. He had pondered the Son of David and could hear what was going on around him. He heard people passing by and speaking of this man called Jesus. How many go through this world with sight but are blind? Christmas is a time filled with excitement and joy, hope and anticipation, wonder and laughter from the perspective of a child and from one who believes in the Christ Child. Close your eyes and see what God is saying to you. He is on His way.

What is God saying to me: I hear all who ask.
Dear Father, I love the pictures You paint when I close my eyes, I love the memories and feelings that return. There is so much to be thankful for. Father, I see the need, I see the parables playing out each day, I will do what You ask of this day. I pray others that are blind may see, I pray they have faith like a little child and hear Your words plainly and accept them. Prayers for a family who lost a father yesterday, prayers for a friend going thru a medical condition, prayers for another who received a blessing in disguise. God You are so good to us, may we see the blessings in all things, things are not always as we see them. I ask this in the mighty name of Jesus.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
