Choosing Blindness.

"It seemed intended by the blessed providence of God that I should be blind all my life, and I thank him for the dispensation. If perfect earthly sight were offered me tomorrow I would not accept it. I might not have sung hymns to the praise of God if I had been distracted by the beautiful and interesting things about me."

If I had a choice, I would still choose to remain blind...for when I die, the first face I will ever see will be the face of my blessed Saviour." -Fanny Crosby

Is this not... wonderful? i wonder... would i be as willing... as submissive... to, if i were blind and had a chance to see... to wish not to see so that G-d would be the first face i'd ever look upon? Can you imagine her... joy? ... her joy?  If Jesus were the first face, the first person i'd ever opened my eyes to- what would the feeling be...?  i want each day to be just as if i were looking at Jesus before ever even looking at anything else- each day, opening my eyes to Him. What an incredible, incredible thought...
