Your Holy Longing

Luke 18:40-43
Jesus asked the blind man, “What do you want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, please let me see.” Jesus told him, “Have sight; your faith has saved you.” He immediately received his sight and followed him, giving glory to God.

Do you pursue Jesus as the blind man did…who even after being told to be silent kept calling out to Jesus as He was passing by? What do you want Jesus to do for you? Have faith that He will provide you what you need. However…what you need may be different than what you want! Notice how Jesus was not concerned with any belief system the blind man had…only that he had faith that Jesus would heal him. Notice also that when the man was given sight…he followed Jesus. The outcome was a changed life. It’s not just physical healing that Jesus wants for us…but inner healing and transformation…so that we also follow Him with a transformed way of life that leads to wholeness and inner peace.
