One of the most beautiful passages in the bible is in the new testament where Jesus gives sight to the blind man who had been blind since birth. After Jesus had given him sight, he came in search of Jesus to thank Him. John 9: 35-38 "Jesus said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" The man replied, "who is He, sir, that I may believe in Him?" Jesus told him, "You have seen Him. He is speaking to you now." And the man said, "I do believe, Lord!" Oh Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief! Isaiah 49: 23 "Then you shall know that I am the Lord and those who hope in Me shall never be disappointed." Thank You, Jesus! PTL

In memory of my brother Bobby who was born on September 3rd, 1974 and died September 11th, 1974 at 8 days old.
