Blinders Dispelled
I prayed a very special, and specific prayer at Discipleship Camp, and I continue to do so.
I prayed that God would strip the blinders off of my eyes and allow me to see people as He sees them.
To see the hurting…the lost…the incomplete…
What’s interesting about that prayer is that it has affected me in a way that one wouldn’t expect.
Since then, I’m starting to see people more for their hurt and their need for being needed. But one student stuck out to me more than any other. They are a Christian.
One of my classes is a very discussion based class. When discussing America, the student in their passionate answer mispronounced some words.
Instead of saying “unity,” they messed up and said “unitedty.” When talking about the film we had been discussing, she said “potray” and not “portray.”
The blinders have been stripped because I see the person not fully caring what others think. People after class made fun of her and still do. The student doesn’t care though, because the student is the servant of the Most High. The student has shown me what it means to preserve through everything.
And the perseverance isn’t coming without some sort of a struggle. I see the student struggling, but overcoming through Him. I don’t believe that I would see what I see if I hadn’t prayed that specific prayer.
I’m not sure that student will ever know how much they are blessing me. And I will continue to bless them.
