This kind of blindness is often the result of blindness

Thursday September 24th, James 3: 1What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? 2You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. I believe no one is pure evil, and I believe everyone will sooner or later come to dwell at the throne of God. Some like Joe Wilson may not be ready to stand in the middle of the chamber and say “I’m sorry, I was a jerk” thinking some off handed end run apology will make it, but eventually, the heart will succumb to love, and faced with our own reality, we will also be embraced by the reality of God's love. How often do we find that in striving for what we think we want we find ourselves duped into following the path to nowhere? Do you seek O man for the good of the Body, or are you the hand, pragmatically saying to the eye, I don’t need you? This kind of blindness is often the result of blindness.
