I Am Blind

I woke up today thinking about what tomorrow may bring, realizing that I cannot get a glimpse of my tomorrows road. Pondering about my future, I feel like I have no future at all. Yes I have skills, I have the drive, I have the knowledge to have a bright future, but then, who I am to say that I'd be successful in everything that I plan to do? I say I can do it. I know I can do it with what I have; but how sure am I?

I'm blind.

I can make plans, but I am blind. I cannot see my future, I don't know what it has for me. Today I'm happy, tomorrow I'm not. Today they love me, tomorrow they don't. Today they are created, tomorrow they're destroyed. We cannot hold what our tomorrow may bring, it's a risk sleeping every night, for you'll never know what tomorrow will bring.

Sounds lonely ain't it? Sounds sad, hopeless, dark and tiring. . It's because of the blindness. I plan tomorrows day, and when tomorrow comes, none of what I've planned pushes through. I feel like a failure, I feel like I have no future. Exaggerated it is, but that's where it usually ends.

Being blind in this world, will lead us to a never ending maze of confusion and disappointments.

You try to please everyone to feel that worth you seek and when disappointments attack you, you have no where to go but stay down where you are and let others stomp and trip over you. You're blind, they're blind. It's a lonely thought. Reality hits you right when you understand that yes, I am blind.

I am blind. And boy am I glad that I am. :)

Being blind is not lonely, dark, hopeless as it seems. Yes it does sound like those, but that's reality, that's how it really is, but the beauty of that, is we have a Guide. We have a Guide who blinds us for us to not see what we cannot comprehend. A Guide that holds our hands and never lets it go no matter what. A Guide who stays with us and protects us from those who stomp on us once we fall down. A Guide who chose to watch what's ahead of us despite the pain and the evil it presents just to bring us in our destination, our future in it's full potential. Being blind about our future is not a danger or a problem, rather it is an opportunity to trust our Guide and let Him protect us from all that is not for us.

No body said it was an easy road to walk in blindness, it takes a whole bucket of trust, hope and faith. Walking in blindness, holding onto The Guide, brings us to our destination with a contentment in our heart that says, "I've done it. . I've hold on to my Guide till the end, now, I can see the future He has made just for me."

You think being blind is a problem? Think again.

If The Guide allowed you to walk on this earth with the vision you desire to have, who are you to say that you'd grasp to live what you see? The Guide does everything for you, He protects you, He shields you, He fights for you, He leads you. All you've got to do is to hold onto Him; to wake up every morning thanking Him and allowing Him to guide you in every step you make today towards tomorrows future. :)

"I can see, and that is why I can be happy, in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I can see a God-made world, not a manmade world." Helen Keller
