"How sweet are Your words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" (Psalm 119:103).
A BLIND GIRL
Susan tried to remove the calluses of her fingers that her touch might be more sensitive; but still she failed with her hands to read the raised letters.
In her sorrow Susan took the Bible and said: "Farewell, my dear Bible. You have been the joy of my heart!" Then she pressed the open page to her lips and kissed it, and as she did so she felt with her mouth the letters: The Gospel according to Mark.
Is God’s word also very sweet to you this day? Is it like honey to your mouth? May God the Holy Spirit make this the experience of every day to each one of us, for Jesus’ sake! ~ C.H. Spurgeon
FAREWELL, DEAR BIBLE
In her sorrow Susan took the Bible and said: "Farewell, my dear Bible. You have been the joy of my heart!" Then she pressed the open page to her lips and kissed it, and as she did so she felt with her mouth the letters: The Gospel according to Mark.
"Oh, thank God!" she said, "if I cannot read the Bible with my fingers, I can read it with my lips."

That is so precious. My good friends will be delivering New Testaments to a remote African tribe next month. This is the first time they will have the Word of God in their native language.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenVery touching story. Thank you for sharing it. When I think about it none of us know what tomorrow will bring. We could wake up blind ourselves and then I wonder have I stored up in my heart enough of the Word to find comfort? Thank you again for posting this story, Aritha.
