A baby boy was born blind and abandoned on the street in Taiwan. He was sent to the orphanage and well taken care by the staff. He grew up with a joyful heart because he received a lot of love. Whenever he struggled with his physical blindness, he remembered how greatly he was loved by “many fathers and many mothers” in the orphanage. The eyes of his spirit are bright.
Later on, a pastor taught him to play Saxophone and he loved the music and carried the musical instrument with him all the time. He studied in the special aid school called Huei-Ming, which organized a music group for the students to play music. This group was invited to perform in many places including prisons. The prisoners were touched by his gratitude to God in his weakness.
The joyful attitude of the handicapped people often make healthy people feel shameful because the physical healthy people with unhealthy soul often take what they are given for granted.
Therefore, if we often feel not satisfied in our heart, why not come to ask God to check if there’s any illness in our soul?
The Bible says: “As it is written: ‘There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.’” (Romans 3:10-11)
So I pray: Lord, God, “No one is good” is Your diagnosis of every person’s spiritual health. You, as our Creator, know humans’ situation so well that You sent Jesus Christ to come to heal the brokenness in our soul. May You open our spiritual eyes to see our souls are sick and need Your healing through receiving Jesus Christ as our Savior and the Lord.
