For we walk by faith, not by sight.
One day her teacher Ann Sullivan took Helen down a familiar path to the well-house. Someone
was drawing water there. Ann let the water run over one of Helen's hands and in sign language
spelled into the other, W-A-T-E-R. Suddenly something happened within Helen. Something
dramatic. Something life-changing. It was only a five-letter word, but for Helen Keller it was a
gigantic break-through. She now had a name for a familiar experience--water. If this experience
had a name, other familiar objects and sensations must have names as well. It was as if she had
suddenly burst forth from a closely guarded prison. Now she could be a whole person,
experiencing the world as a real human being in spite of her handicaps.
Such a breakthrough is always exciting. And that is just what Jesus Christ can do for you today.
Walk closely with him!
(2 Corinthians 5:7
NRSV)
Young Helen Keller was imprisoned by her circumstances. She could neither see nor hear. She
could feel with her hands, but without sight or hearing, how could she know what it was she was
feeling?
Dear Jesus, it is such a blessing to walk with you. May I show others how to also become blessed.
Amen.
