BLIND BUT SEEING - Louis Braille - Faith & Sight working together. The incredible story of Louis Braille, who made it possible for blind people to read. Louis Braille was only 12 when he made reading and writing possible for the blind. What Braille lacked in physical sight, he possessed in spiritual sight. "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him." - At age three Louis accidentally blinded himself. In the early 1800’s prospects for a blind boy were dim, but Louis was no ordinary boy. His deep hunger for learning motivated him to invent a system of raised-type dots. Louis Braille was only 12 when he made reading and writing possible for the blind. Shunning fame and fortune, he went on to live a life of service until tuberculosis took him at age 42. What Braille lacked in physical sight, he possessed in spiritual sight. Content that he’d served his mission on earth, his dying words were these: "God was pleased to hold before my eyes the dazzling splendors of eternal hope. After that, doesn't it seem that nothing more could keep me bound to the earth?" "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him." - Give us spiritual eyes, Lord Jesus! - "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him."

Hi!  I'm Gail Burton Purath. I started Bible Love Notes to give people a minute of Scriptural encouragement in their busy day.

I don't have all the answers, but

since I asked Christ to be my Lord and Savior in 1974, I've been learning from the One Who has all the answers!
I'm still a sinner, a learner, a student who falls down and disappoints God at times. But it's my desire to grow closer to the Lord, day by day, minute by minute.

I need to be challenged, encouraged, corrected and comforted, and I think you do as well...so let's learn together about the love of God--a love that is so vast that we will always be discovering new and wonderful things about it.
