When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?"They said to him, "Yes, Lord." Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you."And their eyes were opened.
Jesus asked if they believed He could give them sight, nothing else. They gave a very simple answer, no long dissertation regarding the extent or depth of their belief but their faith was at least the size of a mustard seed. They were healed according to their faith.
Lord, You ask me if I believe, the same simple question. Sometimes the answer is, "Yes" but sometimes it is "Yes, but..." Continue to lead me towards that, "Yes, Lord, yes" that marks the totally committed, trusting child of God.
