I AM YOUR SIGHT  3/14/04

DREAM: I was walking or maneuvering a blind person on a college campus to a class. When I woke I was struck with how it must feel to be led through an obstacle course with your eyes closed.

WORD TO PONDER: A PARABLE OF ABIDING
You have often wondered what it means to abide and how to do it. You question where you are, where you are going, and haven’t a clue. Relax, dear one, I AM teaching you how to abide.

Consider the blind man who has moved to a new city. As he listens to the sounds, experiences the smells, and deposits what he touches into memory…he is leaning upon Another who has eyes to see. His companion walks with him giving him understanding and insight into what his senses are experiencing.

Every move he makes, everything he experiences… he listens, learns and remembers. His daily life is a safe refuge because he clings to his Companion. And that is abiding in Me. Abiding is living in a constant state of expectancy where your whole being is leaning upon Me for your sight, your hearing, your discernment, your understanding and all your needs. Abiding is a constant state of friendship and intimacy in all that you are and do. So, precious, when you question what is going on in your life, cling to Me and learn.

“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.” (John 15:4 NKJV)
