In the 1st century, when someone was born with an illness or condition, it was thought that the person did something to offend God.
However, Jesus dispells that lie with truth saying, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him“.
It was because of the man’s blindness that Jesus could display His power and heal him.
Keep your eyes and heart opened…and, who knows, maybe one day you’ll notice the leaves have changed…and are, in fact, beautiful.
