Matthew 20:32 –  “And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’”

As I read, prayed, and mused on the Word of God today, the last thing I read was like thunder in my heart.  Matthew 20:32, when the blind man cried out to Jesus, He asked the question that I believe is God’s question of the moment. “What do you want Me to do for you?”

Think about that question.  It is revelatory and leads to additional questions. What do we want from Jesus?  What we say or desire reveals our heart, ambition, motive, and commitment.  Not what we pretend to want, but what do we truly want?  What is the real desire of our hearts?  Only we can answer that!  Don’t get religious, but examine your heart. What do you really want?

Now, ask yourself this question, “Why do I want it?”   At that juncture, we get to the revelatory part.  Now, we come face to face with the condition of our hearts.  Now, we see what our view of life, ourselves, and God really is. That desire says it all.   Why?

If Matthew 6:33 is really the driving passion of my heart, my wants will never be driven by selfishness or the pursuit of ease.  My desires will be His Kingdom, His Purpose, and Him. Whatever moves Him will move me. Whatever breaks His heart will break mine.

The Why will reveal Who Jesus is to us and in us.  Why do I want things? Why do I want advancement?  Why do I want healing?  Why do I want His presence?  Why do I want His power?  Why?  What is my motive?  Don’t get religious. Get real, Why?

It is self-examination time; if done with an open, exposed heart, it brings total release!  So, What do we want Jesus to do for us and Why? I have found that some of my (What) had a wrong (Why), and I’m seeking to allow the Holy Spirit to sync my What and Why with His heart.

The question of Jesus in Matthew 16:13 is key: “Who do you say I Am?”

Today is your day of release!   Rejoice in the LORD!
