The Radiance of the Beauty of Love That Shines Through the Darkness
From a poor family was born a woman named Frances Jane Crosby (fanny Crosby) she was born with love from her mother and father. Even though they live from a simple family background, the enthusiasm of both parents allows him to grow. when he was six weeks old he was sick with fever and was under a doctor but the doctor who would treat him was not there, then someone came to their house and claimed to be a doctor, finally both parents allowed him to treat his child, the doctor gave medicine and gave injections to him. Fanny, who had a pretty bad fever. some time later, it turned out that the treatment carried out by the doctor did not provide a cure but made this baby get worse pain in his eyes. then the parents took this baby to the hospital and examined this baby, the doctor who was already in the hospital examined this baby and it turned out, someone who had treated the baby before was not a doctor, so the treatment for the fever suffered by the baby did not recover but had an effect on both his eyes, and in the end the doctor claimed that this baby named Fanny had been forever blind. Hearing this incident, Fanny's parents were very sad and sorry that the baby who was born normal and intact had to suffer from blindness at the age of six weeks. A few months after this incident, Fanny's father died and finally Fanny was left with her mother, who had to live and struggle with her child's suffering. they live with her grandmother, in a remote area, at the age of eight Fanny began to follow her grandmother to come Every Sunday they attend services at a church. Her grandmother gave a lot of teaching and guidance to Fanny, as well as being an eye for this little girl. The grandmother excitedly explained about the physical condition of the world to Fanny. He also carefully reads and distributes Bible studies to Fanny while always praying. He also helped Fanny memorize Bible verses. From Fanny's side, blindness has forced her to build more memory and concentration. Fanny never felt sorry for herself for being blind, nor did she see blindness as something terrible.
Then because of God's help, Fanny became someone who was able to show her creativity in her blindness. a music teacher comes twice a week to their village and teaches singing lessons to Fanny and her peers. This period of learning to sing, coupled with his love of church hymns, further honed his talents. There he lived and studied for seven years while learning to play the piano, guitar and harp. He was also a good soprano and was very prolific at writing poetry as a teenager. with this development he became a great writer by the time he began to grow up. Apart from her talents in poetry writing and sound art as well as music, Fanny is known as a figure who fights for education for the blind. About the reason behind her passion and productivity in writing poetry and lyrics, Fanny stated, "My goal in writing lyrics is to win people's souls to Christ." Christ, though all his life he was blind and homeless, was only passionate about winning souls for! some of his creations are indeed inspired by things that actually happen, which touch the heart in terms of the need for fellow human beings to know Christ. there are so many hymns to God that he has composed and some have become frequent hymns in church buildings. and until now he is known as one of the pioneers for Christian hymns in the world.
once a priest came to him and wanted to test the faith of a fanny he asked questions like this "why do you still believe and praise God who can't give and restore your sight??".. then he answered.... "If I could ask for one wish and it could be granted when I was in my mother's womb, I only asked that I was born blind"... then this priest replied to fanny's answer..." ahh, why are you asking for born blind, doesn't everyone want to be born whole, why do you want to be born blind??"... he answered "When I was born blind, I couldn't see the world and everyone there including the priest, because of my wish when I die, the first face I will see is the face of my savior"... that's the story of a man who was born blind from his lifetime and was used by God in an extraordinary way, until he died. The great works of his lifetime have come to an end and have inspired many, which remain popular and enduring today. According to his deepest longing, not a few people know Jesus through his written lyrics. The darkness due to his impaired vision did not restrain his speech from creating bright beauty, for he was always full of gratitude and passion for souls. until now one of the sentences that became part of his life journey was the sentence he issued... "If tomorrow I were offered to be able to see this world perfectly, I would not accept it. I may never sing praises to God, if I was more interested in more beautiful and attractive visions."
the message of this story is never to give up on the circumstances that we experience from the shortcomings that we have, in whatever circumstances this life God is always with us, don't be afraid to be creative in a state of life that is lacking. even blind people can make something extraordinary with a very good work and can be useful to many people with the creation of written works and works of praise songs that are still being sung to this day. and be an inspiration to many people. what about us who were born whole and perfect?? maybe the answer is in the hearts of all friends. that's the story that I can share, I hope we can bring inspiration to all of my friends, if there are shortcomings in writing or the subject matter, I apologize, because I also have shortcomings in human limitations. I thank you, may God always bless us all with life.

Thank you for Everything
God doesn't give us anything we can't handle, he knows us better than we know ourselves. Where someone sees a limitation there is another who sees an opportunity. She saw an opportunity to give the world something beautiful through her music.
