December 10th, 2009A THOUGHT PROVOKING STORY
There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind…
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend.
He was always there for her.
She told her boyfriend, ‘If I could only see the world, I will marry you..’
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages
came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.
He asked her, ‘Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?’
The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight
of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t expected that. The thought
of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.
Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying:
‘Take good care of your eyes, my dear,
for before they were yours, they were mine.’
This is how the human brain often works when our status changes.
Only very few remember what life was like before, and who
was always by their side in the most painful situations.
Question:
When you look through your eyes at someone else, what do you see?
And, when they look back at you, what are they seeing?
Always Remember: “…Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” (I Sam. 16:7)
