What do you want?
Recently I was reading through the gospel of John and the first recorded words of Jesus are "What do you want?" He was walking along and John had pointed Him out to a couple of his disciples. The disciples began following Jesus out of curiosity. He turned around and sprang this question on them. I love it.
I think it's a profound question. So much of what we do or do not get out of life hinges on our answer to this question. What is it that you really want?

Excellent, Tim - Excellent! Thank you for the profound thought. I will ponder that for awhile... Just what is it that I REALLY want? The Lord is waiting for us to answer the question with honesty and sincerity and desperation.
I too have been hearing this from God lately. Desire is revealed by the choices we make. Sometimes it is such a struggle to change our ways so that His desires actually become ours.
I want to take a nap.
And I want to laugh often. And I want to trust more. And I want to do better at saving my money.
dis is too good, im glad i read it...seems like thats exactly what master's commission is about so far. :)
To be a part of restoring the minds and hearts of this generation to the Father, and training the next ones to walk in their destinies. Short term version: to finish school, find the next step, build relationships and learn how to budget. (Also climb a mountain and skydive someday). Side note: It would be so interesting to find out what everyone dreams of--that's probably a big clue to really knowing who people are. Good question you pose.
