Jesus asked this question three times (Mark 10:36, Mark 10:51, Luke 18:41). The other night after telling the story of the blindman and beggar Bartimeaus to our daughters at bedtime, I asked the same question Jesus asked his disciples (in Mark 10:36) and the blind men (in two story accounts (Mark and Luke).
"What do you want me to do for you?"
To this, our youngest bravely and confidently remarked with a ready answer: "Ice cream! And battery-operated car!" (the car is her wish and in her prayers always).
Then I asked our eldest. And she answered with conviction, "Money for our trip." I was surprised that our eldest and me had the same top answer in mind. Lately, we are working hard to raise funds and believing God for provision. So if Jesus would ask me too, I would have the same answer as my eldest daughter's.
Our little ones' reply to Jesus' question showed totally contrasting needs. But they replied with all genuine honesty and sincerity.
HOW ABOUT YOU? How would you answer the question,
"What do you want me to do for you?"
