"What do you want me to do for you?"

i was thinking this morning that if Jesus asked me this question, i don't know how i'd respond. but then i thought, well the blind dude's answer was a pretty good one.

"i want to see."

i think it not only applies to physical sight, but also spiritual.
i want to see You glorified
i want to see Your will be done
i want to see Your vision for my life
the list goes on

later as i was biking through the neighborhood, i listened to a matt chandler sermon about the blessings and woes found in Luke 6. i have to DAILY if not hourly repent because i try to have it all figured out. (seriously, i think God's going to keep me in this place of "absolutely, positively no idea what's next and waiting on God's direction" until i figure out how to live there contently and with thanksgiving) but we are blessed if we are poor in spirit...if we realize just how in need of God we are. we are blessed if we hunger and thirst after righteousness. but woe to us if we are content with where we are in our walk. woe to us if we are self-sufficient.

my favorite thing that he said was, "it's ok that you're not ok. you're dysfunctional; so are we."
we're all messed up. we all have baggage. none of us have it figured out (and if we do, woe to us!) it's a good thing when we have to cry out to God saying, "Lord, i just can't figure this out! i'm desperate for truth and i want to see your will be done. HELP!"
