There once was was a blind man who lived in a small village on the island of Bohol.
I found him recently after I entered a dirt pathway. I asked some playful youngsters, "Who is the most righteous man living here?"
The poor natives couldn't understand my word, 'righteous', so I again asked, "Who is the man here that loves more deeply than anyone else?"
I was taken by them to a small but bright house, which was obviously hand-made and freshly painted. His daughter was standing outside.
This is a picture I took of her, taken moments before I met him.
"There he is," the group spoke, in various words. He slowly approached me.
I spat upon both thumbs, and pressing them to his sockets, I restored his sight, and we hugged wetly.
I then showed him his mansion which I had designed and built myself. Just one picture. Wiping his eyes, he knelt down and kissed my feet.
Then I knelt before him, and I washed his feet. Just as I had seen my Father do before.
He was still embracing his little girl when I left the village three days later. And still wiping his eyes. He jumped many times at the sight of his new world.
YOUR TURN SOON
Are you ready for your mansion? Do you love your child as he did his? Does your home and heart show it?
If they both do, I will hunt you down. I will show you a picture of your own future home.
I think you'll like it.
- God
Men seek me. I seek them.
Repent while you still may.
It's well worth it.
...checkmate.
Amen
