Jesus said to him in reply, "What do you want me to do for you?"We all relate to the blind man. It's the common condition. Where am I blind? I want to see.
The blind man said to him, "Master, I want to see."
Mark 10:51
But take a second and look at Jesus' question. That is considerate and gracious. It is the question God asks us, even though we don't stop to think of it. He met us more than halfway by becoming human and dying for us. And here he is, "What do you want me to do for you?"
It's a question I ponder when I begin my morning prayer. Considering the asker makes me both shed the small stuff and yet also bring the small stuff to him. He's asking. He wants to know. What will we say?
