Fanny Crosby's Blindness - Baptist (Romans 8:28)

Source: Biographical illustration99 words

Fanny Crosby lost her sight at six weeks old due to a doctor's mistake. She could have spent her life in bitterness. Instead, she wrote over 8,000 hymns—"Blessed Assurance," "To God Be the Glory," "Pass Me Not." She once said, "If I had a choice, I would still choose to remain blind... for when I die, the first face I will ever see will be the face of my blessed Savior." Her blindness wasn't good; what she did with it was extraordinary. Romans 8:28 is personal: God works YOUR circumstances for YOUR good. What limitation might God be using?
