What do you want?

What do you want?

I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want. – Mark Twain

One reason God gave us faith was to decide for ourselves what we want. We see this when we look at the way Jesus dealt with people who came to Him for help. He would not just go ahead and start meeting that person's every need. He certainly knew that the blind needed to see, the cripple needed their legs strong again, the hungry needed food. But what would He do when they came to Him? He would ask them:

What do you want me to do for you?

In telling Him what they wanted, they were forced to define one request, and have the faith to ask for it. 

Too many people live uneventful lives, always indecisive about what they will or will not do, because they don't use this power that God has given them. They're always asking around for people's opinions, watching what others are doing before they decide what to do, analyzing and pondering and analyzing some more — and never taking any action. They are suffering from indecision. 

Friend, what do you want? 

Answer that question in regards to every area of your life. Write it down. Tell it to God. 

He's looking for people who can tell Him that.
