Are They Blind

2 Corinthians 4:4  
Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. (NLT) 

Remember watching a puppet like show where the performers would use a backlit sheet to display their characters as shadows. It was quite lifelike and yet you never saw the actual people or puppets. The images were behind a veil.

We forget that the god of this world has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. We talk to them and yet our words seem to bounce off, never to be heard. So we keep coming back to them trying something else often to the point where they may not want to see us anymore. Sometimes even to the point where they agree to what we are asking, but perhaps only in words not from their heart.

And then there are those we approach who light up when we begin to discuss Jesus and what a relationship with Him has done to our lives. Perhaps someone else has dropped a few seeds into their life and Father God has been helping them remove that veil. They are ready to listen to the Good News.

How do we know who is dealing with that blindness and who is ready to listen? We don't. That is why we need to reach out to all we come into contact with. Some are ready. Some are not, but our words are like seed planted. And some are so blinded they cannot see.

So everywhere our feet tread we need to be obeying Holy Spirit and spreading the Good News
