The World Through Cataracts...



Cataracts:
Ophthalmology:  an eye disease in which the lens becomes covered in an opaque film that affects sight, eventually causing total loss of sight.  It can be treated surgically by replacing the lens with an artificial implant.

I have cataracts.  Surgery will clear up my vision so that I possibly won't even need glasses.  It is a condition I have developed over the years.  The reason?  Aging.

I think this country has developed cataracts.  Things that were once black and white have now become fuzzy.  Definitions of right and wrong have been rewritten.  I don't think they have necessarily changed, but as our society has walked further and further away from respecting God and having a belief in Him, the definitions have been replaced with those adhered to throughout history by mankind who chooses to do what is right in his own eyes.

There is a cure.  But, I have to choose to undergo an uncomfortable surgery of the soul to see clearly.  When I accepted Jesus Christ, I began a spiritual surgery to remove the cataracts of political correctness and self fulfillment.  Being filled with His Spirit will remove the opaque moral issues and give me clarity of His will.

1 Corinthians 13:12  King James Version (KJV)

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

I like me better when I am under His guidance than the me I am when rattling around squinting, bouncing off walls,
