Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Friday of the Third Week of Easter
Blinded By The Light
My soul, in God’s peace, was filled with thoughts about the good God. I did not even remember my blindness of this morning, and had completely forgotten it. (Elizabeth) (1977)
Today’s Readings: Jesus who appeared to you on the way by which you came, that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately things like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. (Acts 9)
Prayer Meditation: O Lord, we go through life with scales on our eyes blind to Your goodness- each going our own way until we sink into darkness. Yet You never give up on us! If we need to be knocked down and blinded by life to finally see You it will be allowed- that is how much You love us! Because all You want is us- You do not want to lose a single one of us! For You wound us and then Your Hands Heal us (Job 5:18). That sickness, that loss of a loved one, those reversals of fortune, our own faults and failures, all allowed by You yet You never leave us but pursue us so that we would surrender to Your Love and Mercy! And all things come together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28)- our blindness, our weakness, our sickness, and even our sins if we repent radically reorienting ourselves to You! Let us forget our former blindness and let the scales fall off of our eyes and begin again in You!
