What Do You See? Discernment in the Dark

Why did Jesus pray for the blind man twice before he could clearly see? Everybody loves NEW. What if every day was new? What if there was a way to get out of the same old same old, exit the rat race? How about a new job, a new wife or husband? If God's mercies (loving-kindness) are new every morning, then life must be seen differently. What if what we're seeing is not reality? Life is supposed to be "true life", the God life (Zoe) that is new every morning. Jesus came as our eyes to see life clearly. Our perception of life is unveiled by Jesus or is there a seduction happening causing many to be depressed, full of anxiety, people giving up, aimlessly wondering through life. God has healed us from blindness and restored spiritual sight.
