Blinded Mind

Satan, who is the ruler of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4

Have you ever wondered how people can be so blind sometimes?  Why they can't seem to see the damage and destruction caused by anger, hatred and apathy?  Why they can't seem to see the pain and suffering around them?  And why they can't seem to see anything BUT the pain and suffering around them? 

Let's face it, we live in a world where we have become blinded to the true glory of Christ.  You see, because we have become blinded, we choose not to look for the Light of Christ; we choose not to share the Love that is Christ; we choose not to share...anything.  

Because we have become blinded, we seek out the things that distract us FROM Christ: That new car when the one we have still gets us from point A to point B. That "Bigger and Better Job" because we would rather chase the money than establish our loyalty. We pass by people who need someone to listen, because we're "too busy."  We pass people who are hungry because it's "not my problem."  

Isn't it time we take off our blinders and seek the glory of Christ to share with others?
