Lord, have mercy on me.
June 7th, 2011 by Miki HardyThis was the cry of the blind man to Jesus as he heard that the Master was passing by. He was sitting by the way side everyday of his life and he had lost all hope from this world which had no time for him and despised him. He cried to Jesus for mercy from the depth of his broken heart, because he felt that this was his last opportunity of receiving his sight. The suffering of this blind man depicts the state of this dying world today, where millions of people are lost in their sins and have no hope for the future. Men and women, old or young, are uttering the same unheard cry from their hurting soul. We are an extension of Jesus, and we are called to reach out to this world without losing time, and share the love of Jesus to all those who come on our way. We will soon discover that there are many “blind men” who are crying for mercy from deep down in their hearts. Jesus is ready to meet their need.
