WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO FOR YOU? (Mark 10)

 

“What do you want me to do for you?”

“What do you want me to do for you?”

In Mark 10 Jesus posed this question twice,

Let’s listen to the answers - see who was wise.

First He asked the sons of Zebedee -

Then to the blind man who called, "“Have mercy on me!”
While James and John were His own star pupils,
Blind Bartimeus wasn't in anyone's inner circle. 

"That's easy," James and John said, “In the not-too-distant future

“Put us on your right and left, we have all the credentials;

“You won’t regret it, we can really help you,
“Besides, we're very gifted in telling others what to do.”

“As for me, Rabboni,” the blind beggar replied,

"All I want right now is to regain my sight.

“I don’t really care if I look important or cool;
“I can sit anywhere, but please, let me live life to the full.”

“What do you want me to do for you?”

“What do you want me to do for you?”
This morning as I read Mark 10,
Jesus asked me again and again.

To be honest, I almost prayed,

“More power, less red tapes, definitely more say;
“How can this poor woman serve you efficiently -
“With all these barriers unless - I've more authority?”

But thank God, He taught me to say, "I'm only a servant -

“Help me see through the clutter of self-importance,

"With both eyes open, then I can do your will
"And live each day to the full - and glorify you."
