After I put the glasses on, she told me again to look across the street. I could not believe how much clearer everything looked! I was stunned to, literally, see how much I had been missing.The actions and attitudes of Christian love improve our spiritual view in critical areas. Without it, we are somewhat like the man in the village of Bethsaida to whom Jesus gave sight in a two-stage miracle (Mark 8:22–26). After “stage one,” Jesus asked him if he could see anything.
