Walking by faith
In the Bible, we are called to walk by faith, not by sight. This truth hit me while reflecting on my time as an educator in a school for the blind. Watching students navigate their world with a cane or guide dog reminded me of 2 Corinthians 5:7, "For we walk by faith, not by sight."
Transform Your Life: Embracing Personal Growth found in scripture
The desire to grow and develop as individuals is natural and inherent in every human being. We constantly seek to improve our skills, expand our knowledge, and reach our full potential.
