John 9:1-3

Last night I was doing my "quiet time." I usually start off with prayer. I pray for whatever is on my heart, but I also go off of a list I have. On my list yesterday was to be praying about our adoption process. I was thanking God that Jeffrey and I have the desire to adopt. We aren't just forced to adopt because of my health situation, but we actually have a God-given desire to adopt. I am so grateful for that. I was also able to thank God for making my heart the way He did, so that we COULD adopt... and in so, He have us the desire to! After praying and praising God for the way that He works, I opened my devotional book "Christ in Our Home." The day I was on had me read John 9:2. I read verses 1 and 3, just to give me a better understanding. This is what it said:
While Jesus was walking, he saw a blind man. This man had been blind since the time he was born. Jesus' followers asked him, "Teacher, this man was born blind. But whose sin made him be born blind? His own sin, or his parents' sin?" Jesus answered, "It is not this man's sin or his parents' sin that made him be blind. This man was born blind so that God could use him to show what great things God can do.
How awesome is that!?! Sometimes I wonder what I've done to deserve my heart condition and all the things that come with it. I try to be a good person, and I love God. So why would He do this to me!?! The answer is in those verses! He made me "blind" so that I could be used to show His great works. Not only am I a walking, talking miracle (God's wonderful creation!), but because of my condition, I cannot have my own children, and I'm able to adopt... so God can work in the lives of children that need it.
I was so excited about this, and I just had to share!
