“After He said this, Jesus spat on the ground and made some mud with the spittle; He rubbed the mud on the man’s eyes and told him, “Go and wash your face in the Pool of Siloam.” (This name means “Sent.”) So the man went, washed his face, and came back seeing.” (John 9:6-7 TEV)
This man was born blind from his birth (John 9:1). One day, Jesus rubbed mud on his eyes and asked him to wash his face. When he did, he could see for the first time in his life.
Mud is dirty, irritating to the eyes, and may even cause infection. But Jesus used it to restore his sight. God can use what is dirty, irritating, and even harmful to bring light into our lives. So, come what may, let us be thankful. For ” I consider that what we suffer at this present time cannot be compared at all with the glory that is going to be revealed to us.” (Romans 8:18). Let us entrust our lives to Jesus, He will not disappoint us.

“…But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13-14 NIV)
British Prime Minister during the Second World War, Sir Winston Churchill, was quoted as saying: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal, what matters is the courage to go on.”
Let us ever onward in evangelism, serving Christ, sharing the love of Christ with a lost and dying world.
Let us ever onward in cleansing ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (2 Corinthians 7:1 KJV)
