In the lyrics of the hymn Amazing Grace, the chorus proclaims “I once was blind but now I see!” If any part of this stanza is true about life, it opens up a can of worms spiritually. For instance, when did you have blinders on, what did you miss and are there any consequences for your lack of discernment?
While listening to Britt Nicole’s song Seeing for the First Time, I was struck by this concept. Memories of my childhood flashed to the surface, causing me to ponder more questions. Did I misread signs from God? Was I ignorant, naive or stubborn to change my way of life? Fast forwarding to the present, I am fearful that I have missed opportunities to be the kind of father and husband God wants me to be.

Everything I missed before I gave my life to Jesus, Romans 10:9-10, is out of my hands. Yet, for the future, I need to begin to see things through God’s eyes for the first time. Like a healing from the cravings of this world, 1 John 2:16, may God help you and I both to see, hear and believe, John 5:24. Act now or else you may regret the blessings you miss in life.
