How are you doing? How is your heart today? Stop reading and really take a second to think about that. How full is your spiritual tank? Are you bursting with life and joy, or are you bone-dry, down and depressed? Most of us just answer those kinds of questions without even thinking about them. We say, “Oh yeah, I’m great. Everything is going awesomely. I couldn’t be better.” Why do we do that? Why do we pretend we’ve got it all together when the truth is that sometimes we’re struggling like crazy just to make it through? One time some folks begged Jesus to heal a blind man. Jesus spat on the dude’s eyes, touched him and then asked, “Do you see anything?” Okay, time out. Let’s pause the story for a second. If Jesus asked you that question right now, how would you answer? I mean, He has worked in your life, right? But are you completely healed? Are you totally finished right now? How would you answer? The blind man had the guts to level with Jesus. He said, “I see people. They look like trees walking around.” In other words, “I can sorta see, but I’m still pretty confused.” I bet Jesus loved that answer. He touched the guy again and completely healed him. Jesus didn’t heal in stages because His power was fading. He healed in stages to teach us a lesson. Your spiritual life is going to take time. It’s a process. Jesus has worked in your life, but He’s not finished. Don’t be afraid to say that you still don’t have it all together. Don’t be afraid to admit that you still need Him. He loves your need for Him.
