I want to see

I want to see

“What do you want me to do for you?’  Jesus asked him.  ‘Teacher,’ the blind man answered, ‘I want to see again.’  ‘Go,’ Jesus told him, ‘your faith has made you well.’  At once he was able to see and followed Jesus on the way.” (Mark 10: 51 – 52)

Lord Jesus, I am in desperate need of your help, of your resources in my life at this moment.  I am conscious that I need deep faith, patience, wisdom and humility.  I also need a very strong desire to see your will fully accomplished in my life.  Lord, you ask me this morning, “What do you want me to do for you?”  Lord I feel inspired by Bartimaeus to answer:  “Lord I want to see.”  I want to see your presence in my life.  I want to see life through your eyes.  I want to see the Church as you see her.  I want to see my family as you see them.  I want to see people as you see them.  Lord I want to see.  I want to see my situation today as you see it.  Lord Jesus, make me see.

Bartimaeus believed that Jesus could make him see again.  He was insistent in his demand, undeterred by opposition, delays and obstacles.  I want to imitate Bartimaeus.  Result:  “Your faith has made you well.”
