Our Scripture reading today is Luke 18:42-43.
Verse 43, "And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God."
The blind man was part of this miracle because of his faith. It was not only his faith that made the difference, but where he placed his faith. His faith was placed in the only One Who could bring sight to his eyes and his faith was the cause of others seeing a miracle and giving praise to God.
There are always people watching us. The first place we are being watched is within our homes. Do our actions and words cause our family to praise God? We leave our homes each and head for work. What do our co-workers see in us? Do they see Jesus in us? There are others we will meet today that we do not know and they do not know us. This does not mean we should let down our guard, but we should continue to walk in the Spirit. Our faith can make a difference in someone's life today and for all eternity.
Do They See Jesus In Me
by Amy Roth and Peter A. Carlson
Is the face that I see in the mirror
The one I want others to see
Do I show in the way that I walk in my life
The love that You've shown me
My heart's desire is to be like You
In all that I do, all I am
Do they see Jesus in me
Do they recognize Your face
Do I communicate Your love and Your grace
Do I reflect who You are
In the way I choose to be
Do they see Jesus in me
It's amazing that You'd ever use me
But use me the way You will
Help me to hold out a heart of compassionate grace
A heart that You're spirit fills
May I show forgiveness and mercy
The same way you've shown it to me
Do they see Jesus in me
Do they recognize Your face
Do I communicate Your love and Your grace
Do I reflect who You are
In the way I choose to be
Do they see Jesus in me
Now I want to show all the world who You are
The reason I live and breathe
So You'll be the One that they see
When they see me
Do they see Jesus in me
Do they recognize Your face
Do I communicate Your love and Your grace
Do I reflect who You are
In the way I choose to be
Do they see Jesus in me
