How to Get What You Want

Value - John Goodale

Oct. 7

Jesus often asked those he cured, “What do you want me to do for you?” It was important to have them express their desires and gain clarity over their true wants. The blind man wanted to see, but he also wanted to be seen. The most pressing need we all feel is to be seen, valued and loved. These may be three different but interconnected things. We want to be seen, so we run after instant fame (YouTube; Instagram). We want to be valued, so we strive desperately at work or in relationships (a ‘try hard’). We want to be loved; we put great value on our physical appearance. Jesus sees and delights, values and treasures, loves and knows. In Jesus we are fully known and fully loved.
