God's love is bigger than our failures and stronger than any chains that bind us.

God's love never quits or fails or walks away.

Not only is it mind-blowing that God would consider me - us - worthy of his love, but it's flat-out incomprehensible that God would give us his wisdom, compassion, guidance, and comfort by giving us his Word. It's totally humbling and such an honor. Thank you Lord!

The peace, comfort, and hope God gave me made me feel like I really was walking in his light; those spiritual blessings were constant reminders that God really did love me. He loved me enough to tuck his Word in my heart so I'd have it when my eyes could no longer read it.

It was Scripture that I had hidden in my heart that quickly came to mind when my frustration felt stronger than my faith.

I still feel the same way about God's Word as I did when I was 15 and lost my sight.

Lots of the time, we just think of the Bible as history or life lessons or poetry or - unfortunately - a collection of 'thou shall' and 'thou shalt nots!' All those elements are part of Scripture.
