In John 9:3, Jesus declares that a man’s blindness was meant for the works of God to be displayed in him. Fanny Crosby’s life echoed this very truth. Though blinded at just six weeks old due to a doctor's error, Fanny Crosby became one of the most prolific hymn writers in history. With over 8,000 hymns to her name, she didn't let her disability define her. Instead, she viewed her blindness as a divine appointment, using her gifts to compose songs that have inspired generations. Her story is a remarkable testament to the grace of God, showing us that our greatest limitations can become the platform for His greatest work. Join us as we explore the life and legacy of Fanny Crosby, a woman whose "Blessed Assurance" became the anthem of her unwavering faith in the Savior. Discover how her blindness opened her spiritual eyes and how her hymns continue to illuminate hearts today.
