Minute Message   : Healthy Eyes But Blind

Publication Date : Not Recorded - 1996



	A report came out concerning research done on 150 women in

California. These women all lived in the southern part of the

state and are experiencing vision loss. The problem is, that

there is no physical explanation for it.



	All these women are refugees from Cambodia. All lost their

sight as a result of atrocities they witnessed in their home land

while under Communist rule. Those events that scarred these women

are so horrible it is difficult to describe them. They saw

parents and children killed in such a brutal way that "they just

don't want to see any more" on researcher stated.

	

	Some people suffer various things in their life and they

cope with it in different, sometimes strange, ways. A woman is

abused and so she becomes emotionally numb. A child is abused and

it too cannot express emotions.



	The cure for functional blindness is not physiological it is

psychological and spiritual. Those women blind from witnessing

atrocities will have to feel secure before they will allow

themselves to see again. Those emotionally numb will have to be

reassured they are loved, protected and accepted, before they

will get their powers of emotional sensitivity back again.

	

	Jesus can bring healing. It will not come instantaneously.

He will accept and love without condition.



	Will I see you tomorrow?
