WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE

Do You Really Want to See?

The blind man sat by the road, wrapped in the only thing he owned, a worn cloak, frayed at the edges, clinging to him like the darkness he had known his whole life. He had heard of Jesus before, whispers of miracles and impossible healings. But hearing was all he had.

Seeing? That was something he could only dream of.

Then one day, the answer walked right past him.

The sound of a crowd, feet shuffling, voices rising in excitement. “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” someone said.

Something stirred deep inside him, something desperate, something unwilling to let this moment slip away. He cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Voices around him tried to silence him, they told him to hold his piece.

But he didn’t listen. He couldn’t listen. He cried out even louder.

And then, everything stopped.

Jesus stood still.

The crowd that had been moving now hushed, waiting.

Then the words came: “Bring him to Me.”

Hands grabbed him, lifted him up and guided him forward. The same people who had told him to be quiet were now leading him to the very One he had called out for.

And then, a question:  “What do you want Me to do for you?”

It seemed obvious, didn’t it? He was blind. Of course, he wanted to see. But Jesus didn’t assume that. He wanted the man to speak his need, to ask, to desire it fully.

“Lord, I want to see.”

And just like that, with a word, sight flooded in. Colors, faces, light, life, it all rushed in at once.

But here’s the real question: Was he ready to see?

Ask yourself “What Do You Really Want to See?”

Sometimes we ask God to open our eyes. To show us our future, our potential, our purpose. But are we really ready to see it?

Because to see what God wants to show us means seeing everything.

The beauty and the purpose, but also the truth about ourselves.

It means seeing our potential, but also the fear we have of stepping into it.

It means seeing the open doors, but also the obstacles we must push through.

It means seeing the goodness of God, but also the work He wants to do in our hearts and lives.

We say we want to see, but do we want to see our faults? Our doubts? The places where we have settled for less than God’s best?

The blind man in Luke 18 wasn’t just given sight, he was given a choice. Now that he could see, what would he do with it? The Bible says he followed Jesus, Glorifying God, and others began to praise God because of his healing.

Seeing changed him. But it also demanded something of him.

If you ask God to show you your future, are you ready to walk into it?

If you ask Him to reveal your potential, are you willing to do the work?

If you ask Him to open your eyes to His truth, will you accept what He reveals?

Seeing is a gift, but it is also a responsibility.

So before you ask, before you cry out, be ready for the answer.

Because when Jesus opens your eyes, you will never be the same.
