The account of Jesus healing a blind man in stages is remarkable. He could have healed him in one go, but chose to do it in stages. I\u2019m sure this was because Jeuss wanted to draw out faith in the man.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Perhaps you have seen God begin to do something in your life. Maybe it\u2019s something you\u2019ve been asking for a long time. Now you feel a bit like the blind man: something has definitely changed but not enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n
You have a choice: are you going to settle for things being a bit better than they are? \u00a0Or, are you going to be bitter that you haven\u2019t received what you asked for? Or, will you give thanks to God for what he has done for you, but go back to him again and in faith ask him to complete the work he started?<\/b><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Just not all at once. Healing takes time. Compassion and patience carry us over a lifetime of change. These are the themes I explore in my books and in the articles I have written for Patheos since 2003.
