For a Specific Purpose

Even the story of Jesus
so many years with no information
for most of the actors
only for a unique moment
fleeting, on the stage,
not so much fifteen minutes of fame
a part for a specific purpose

Maybe the same for us
like this blind man, a prophet
a witness to the power of God
a gadfly able to speak
to chide the leaders
the mockery of their unbelief
alive for this purpose
not blind for his sin

Each of us, like the people
those in Christ’s stories
those who followed
who were faithful
those before us
All of us for a purpose
a reason we walk this earth
even if blind for a season
we can be healed by God
