A blind beggar approaches Jesus as he walks with a group of people. Those leading the way tell the beggar to be quiet. Jesus does the opposite. He says, “Bring him to me. I want to talk to him.” Then Jesus says to the beggar, “What do you want me to do for you?”
This question is so simple, yet so profound. So often we ask God, “What do you want me to do for you, God?” We have it backwards. It is God who asks us this question.
As this sinks into our hearts and we begin to relax in the comfort of God's protection, we sometimes might begin to ask God and others the very same question, but the reason for doing so will feel different.
