What do you want?

Really, what do YOU want? What do you REALLY want?
Have you ever wanted something and then once you got it you weren't so thrilled with it? Or maybe it wasn't all it was cracked up to be? Sometimes I wonder if we know what we really want.
I mean we can say we want MORE of JESUS, but the question comes back...REALLY? What do we really want? We can say with our lips the "right" thing-that we want more of Jesus, but is that really true of our hearts?
Cause Jesus will give us MORE if we want it. So the dilemna is not that God is withholding Himself from us, but that the true desire of our hearts (which the Father sees even though our words say something else) is not REALLY to have MORE of Him.
There were two men who were sitting alongside the road, crying out to Jesus. The crowd, told them to be quiet. They sternly told them to be quiet. I am sure the voices around Jesus were loud, many clamoring for His attention and asking for "things" at every turn. I am sure the crowd wanted them to be quiet-not out of reverence, but so they could be heard over them. But instead of being quiet, they cried out all the more. Jesus turns and asks a simple question. I don't know if there was compassion in His voice, frustration from everyone yelling at Him or if he was sincerely looking for someone that just didn't want something...but wanted Him. But He looks at these two men and asks them...What do you want?
What they wanted had to be evident. They were blind. But He asks, What is it you want?
Their response, "LORD, we WANT our eyes to be opened." Master, we want to see! We know WHO you are and we want our eyes opened!
Jesus was moved with compassion, He touched their eyes and they immediately regained their sight. AND FOLLOWED HIM.
What is it you want? Do you want your eyes opened? Do you want to see? Do you KNOW who HE is? Are you sure? Is that what you REALLY want, because after Jesus touches you, you follow Him.


ALL FOR YOU
