“Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.”

Did you know we are all born blind? Spiritually speaking, we are all born blind. This verse reminds me I was a sinner at conception. I was born—even conceived—with a sinful nature. Even your precious little one, believe it or not, has a sinful nature. We all need to be saved.
The blind need more than light to see. A blind man may not see the light, but he would be foolish to deny the light just simply because he cannot see it. Those who are blind need more than light, they need sight.
I have visited Carlsbad Caverns, and there is a deep cave. At one point the guide had the people turn out all the lights and the darkness was so deep that you could almost slice it.
Even if you have 20/20 vision, you can’t see a thing because there’s no sight without light. Those born in sin need sight from God, but they also need to see God’s light in us. Both are important components in stepping out of spiritual blindness to see clearly.
Make a list of those you know who are spiritually blind and pray that they might gain sight from God.
