He prayed for her a second time. Again, nothing
had changed about her appearance. The third time, however, the prophet
of God laid his hands over her face, covering the bare, empty sockets.
His prayer was simple, “Lord Jesus, just put Your eyes in her.” He held
his hands for only a matter of seconds, maybe a minute over her eye
sockets before he said, “There you are, dear!”
When he removed his hands from her face, there were eyes in what had been
empty sockets!
He called the young Christian man by name and said, “Would you come over here
put your fingers on her eyes.”
Obediently the young man stepped up and very, very gently touched the very
dark brown, long lashed eyes of the child who, moments before, had stood only a
few feet away from him with empty eye sockets! “Not only were there eyes in
those sockets,” he said, “but they were French eyes!”
As the result of this miracle, both her mother and father repented of their
sins and accepted the Lord Jesus as their personal Savior! Our young Christian
brother is now an old man. He does not remember the name of the family or what
happened to them other than that from that day they served the Lord.
Somewhere in Canada there likely is a middle-aged lady with exceptionally
beautiful dark brown eyes. She may not remember too much about that August night
almost a half century ago, but certainly she can say like the man in the 9th
chapter of John, “One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.”
And He went right out, and there was a man that
didn't even have eyeballs in his sockets. And He made some clay and plastered
his eyes, told him, "Go wash in the pool Siloam." And, when he did, he come back
seeing.
