After vision

Friends,

Our prayers are often full of requests, and rightly so. The Lord knows the desires of our heart, and expects us to bring those desires to Him. But that is not the end of the story ...

Matthew 20:32-34 [NKJV]
So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, What do you want Me to do for you?
They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.” So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.

Notice that Christ does indeed ask what these men want from Him, and they are not bashful or modest in their request. They are blind, and they desire sight. Jesus, in His boundless compassion, touches them and delivers them from blindness.

We were blind. He touched us. And now we see.

But do we, as these men did, follow Jesus?

Be encouraged, Jose
