Have you thought about what you'd say if Jesus asked you what you wanted?
It's your birthday...it's coming up on Christmas...what would you ask for?
Jesus asked this question to some blind men.
Matthew 20:32 documents it: "Jesus stopped. Jesus called them and said, 'What do you want me to do for you?'"
How would you respond if Jesus asked you the same question?
As the story goes in Matthew 20, these blind beggars, hearing that Jesus was near, cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"
They were asked to be quiet, but they cried out again even louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
When Jesus asked what they wanted, they said, "Lord, we want our eyes to be opened."
Would you have asked for that?
Why opened eyes and not something else?
Moved with mercy and compassion, "Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him."
They asked for mercy. They asked for their eyes to be open.
Done!
What's amazing is that He not only healed their eyes physically, He healed the blind beggars in all other ways, too, so they would have what they needed to follow Him.
Did you get that?
He healed them in all other ways, too, so they would have what they needed to follow Him.
What do you desire today?
Do you desire the same?
Are you asking for what you need to follow Jesus, or are you asking for something else?
Through this story, Jesus is asking you what you want!
He is saying to you right now..."What do you want Me to do for you?"
Cry it out!
Cry it out again even louder!!
"Lord, I want my eyes to be opened."
Done!
