I Want Him
So I was at church last week and we had this amazing speaker! He was telling the story of Jesus speaking in a crowd of people. Then, all of a sudden this man starts screaming out loud, completely interrupting the atmosphere. Of course everyone around him tells him to shut up. This man was desperate. As well as brave, to call out to Jesus with no shame in his inconvenience. Jesus hears the man and calls him forward. He asked the man "what do you want?" In faith the man responds "I want to see." He was blind. Jesus, moved in compassion, then heals the man. I love this!! Imagine being able to see for the first time. It blows my mind. Anyways, the point of the story was for us to put ourselves in this mans positions. If Jesus was to ask us "what do you want" what would we say. Right there, in the middle of church, tears just flowed from my eyes. I told Jesus that it was Him. I WANT HIM!! At that moment I didn't care about answers. Even though my life has been one big question mark lol. I didn't care about future relationships with a certain someone. Even though I really like this guy. I didn't care about money, inspite the fact i have very little of it. None of those things matter. I would give it all up to be closer to HIM. To be consumed in His presence. Honestly, that's where i find the most joy! God used this speaker to put a lot of things in perspective. I'm that blind man. I cant see whats up ahead, but in faith I told God to give me more of Him. Because that's what I want and He is just what I need to get where I'm going.
