Seeing the Glory


In 1812, 3-year-old Louis Braille was playing in his father’s shop. A tool slipped and plunged into his right eye. And he wound up completely blind. But when he was just 15, he invented a system of reading and writing that is still being used today, over two hundred years later. His system, known as braille, has been adapted for use in languages worldwide. His tragedy was used as a tool. His burden became a means of blessing.

2 Corinthians 4:7 says – But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are all broken, and vulnerable. But God can take your hurt, and use it to heal others. Still, Braille’s system wasn’t widely used until after his death. So, would you be willing for God to use you if no one else gives you the credit? The question is, whose glory do you want people to see?
