John 9
A common belief in Jewish culture was that suffering was the result of great sin. However, Jesus used the blind mans disability to teach us about faith and glorification towards God. If God removed suffering whenever we asked, we would follow him for convenience, not out of love and devotion. Our apparent worship of him wouldn't be genuine and sincere. This man not only gained his sight but also spiritual sight as he wasn't oblivious in cultural misconceptions anymore. Tbh I've been thinking about suicide a lot. Much more than I should as of the past week. Again and again I'm just continually feeling downcast by the same petty things. I miss my friends. I miss saying the things I want to say. I miss being relaxed. I hate my overly paranoid and mistrustful mindset. I'm in a spiritual low I guess. However, I boast in my weakness as God has His purposes in everything. Perhaps God is teaching some sort of lesson that I haven't recognised yet? Like the blind man, God can use my temporary suffering for His glory. Victory is mine and victory is His. So be it.
