What do you want?

“As Jesus and the disciples left the town of Jericho, a large crowd followed behind. Two blind men were sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was coming that way, they began shouting, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” “Be quiet!” the crowd yelled at them. But they only shouted louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” When Jesus heard them, he stopped and called, “What do you want me to do for you?””

Ive been reading a book by Mark Batterson call “The Circle Maker”. Actually, I’m rereading it. Stephanie and I are reading it together and I am studying it a little deeper. Mark mskes a great point about this story. These two blind men call out to Jesus  and he wants to know what they want for him. Duh! (I’m not sure you’re aloud to say duh to Jesus) Mark comments that Jesus knew what they wanted, he just wanted to make sure THEY knew what they wanted.

So the question: What do you want from Jesus? If you’re like me, you are not sure you can verbalize it. Jesus knows our desires. He doesn’t need us to tell him. Yet, he wants us to verbalize it. He wants us to search our own hearts and be clear on what we want, what our goals are, and what path we desire. Then we need to verbalize it through prayer. It’s more for us than Jesus.

Do you really know what you want? What are your plans? What are the real desires of your heart? God will answer . We don’t get what we want because we don’t ask. Find out WHAT you want and ask! Then sit back and watch the miracles poor out in your life!
