I Will Find You-Jimmy Needham

I recently read John 9-the story of the man blind form birth. As a read verse 1,
As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth
it struck me that Jesus was the one who initiated the healing. It reminded me of the song from Jimmy Needham about how Jesus is the One who finds us when we are lost and blind:

When you’re lost and eyes are blind, too
I will find you, I will find you
Soon the stars will start to shine through
I will find you, I will find you
There ain’t no stoppin’ me now
It’s just a matter of how
My voice calls, My hands stretch out
And well, let Me remind you: one day I will find you

It can be easy to forget that Jesus initiates the healing in our lives. This blind man was not looking for Jesus or even really knew Him. But Jesus knew that HE would heal this man and that God would get the glory for it. We should be cautious not to think that we are the reason for the healing in our lives. No matter what we have been healed from, God ultimately get the glory because He seeks us out. HE finds us at our worst and gives us sight to see the world as we have never seen it before.
