Because of your faith it will happen!

Matthew 9:27-31
As Jesus was leaving the house, two blind men followed along behind, shouting, “O Son of King David, have mercy on us.” They went right into the house where he was staying, and Jesus asked them,“Do you believe I can make you see?” “Yes, Lord,” they told him, “we do.” Then he touched their eyes and said, “Because of your faith it will happen.” And suddenly they could see! Jesus sternly warned them not to tell anyone about it, but instead they spread his fame all over the town.*
Food for thought!

We have beard many times that we make our decisions and our decisions make us; that we are where and how we are because of our thoughts, our convictions. We have also heard the saying that, if you continue to believe or think as you always believed or thought, you will continue to get the same results; that if you desire different results, all you have to do is to change your beliefs or thoughts. This is what Jesus is telling the two blind men: "Become what you believe!" He is saying, "I cannot do anything against the backdrop of your unbelief. If you believe I can do it, then I will do it. The power is in your hands, not mine. Jesus is saying that each of us tends to become what we believe we are. That is why he asked the blind men: “Do you believe I can make you see?” If you believe a part of you is wrong, is a failure, or is not all that it should be, then that’s how you’ll live and present yourself to the world, and the world, like Jesus did to the blind men, will give back to you what you expected. I like these words by someone: "One of the things I've learned is that life often gives you whatever you expect from it. If you expect bad things, those are what you get. If you expect good things, you often receive them. I don't know why it works that way, but it does. If you don't believe me, try it out. Give yourself thirty days in which you expect the best of everything: the best parking place, the best table in the restaurant, the best interaction with clients, the best treatment from service people. You'll be surprised by what you encounter, especially if you give your very best to others in every situation as well."
