“An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie; for an excuse is a lie guarded.” – Alexander Pope
Our problem is that quite often, we already have an idea of the truth but we excuse ourselves from doing what is right and say that it doesn’t apply to us because of this or because of that.
Are we really searching for the truth? Or do we desire only to gather evidences that will support our own desires?
If we really seek for the answers, we shall find it. But if we do not really want to see them, we won’t even bother looking. We’d rather close our eyes and remain blind than open them and see what we’re afraid to see.
Are your eyes open? Or do you have excuses for remaining blind?
Only those who sincerely seek for the truth will dare to open their eyes to see what they’re looking for.
“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.
“Teacher,” the blind man answered, “I want to see again.”
-Mark 10:51,GNT
