Blind Faith?

I have always disliked the phrase "Blind Faith".  It conjures up ideas of believing with no proof or evidence.  I find that it takes effort to not see God.  I see him in Creation, in the human spirit, in honor, and moral truths. Moses saw God in a burning bush.  The disciples walked with Jesus. Over 500 people witnessed the Resurrected Christ.  Mary Magdalene was the recipient of one of the many miracles our Lord performed.  The closest historical figure I can think of displaying blind faith was Saul/Paul. He had faith after Jesus blinded him.  I believe people do not see God because of his law and the way it causes us to see ourselves.  It reveals us as helpless sinners, in need of a Savior and incapable of saving ourselves.  If you don't see God, you can do whatever you want. If you don't see God, then you can be right even when you are wrong. If you don't see God, you can be selfish and fear no judgement. If you take the blinders off, then you are forced to see your sin and God's righteousness which is scary. If you take the blinders off and realize your salvation is in God's hands then you are no longer in control. If you take the blinders off, then you must be all in, not half way, because eternity is at stake.  I think It takes a lot of faith to go through life blind........Those who see the light are filled with faith.
