Matthew 9:27-31

As Jesus went on his way two blind men followed him shouting, ‘Take pity on us, Son of David.’ And when Jesus reached the house the blind men came up with him and he said to them, ‘Do you believe I can do this?’ They said, ‘Sir, we do.’

Our Lord had many doubters but he also had unexpected people who had faith in whom he was. Let us take a look at your life. Do you have people who surprised you with this kind of faith in you? People who believed in you. I mean in small matters of course. Someone who saw that you had it in you do finish your education. Someone who saw great potential in you and called you to become the person you are today. Maybe someone who believed in you when you doubted yourself.

They called him Son of David maybe at a time when he himself was trying to figure things out. Yes I know this could be heresy that Jesus had to figure things out. I know someone will say he always knew. However being fully human also means it gave him a boost when these strangers walked up and followed him saying “there is more to you than what meets the eye.”

Today be like the two blind men and see something special in your mom, in your brother, in your sister and NAME IT!!! It may do them some good to hear it from you.
