When we find our true
purpose, life becomes beautiful. It is therefore important to know ourselves
better if we are to know our purpose. I am reminded by the conversation of
Jesus and the blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46-52), Jesus asked, “What do you want
me to do for you?” Jesus knew he was blind, and the first thing he would have
thought was that Bartimaeus would have loved to see again. But Jesus goes
beyond physical needs; he looks at the heart. “What is your hearts desire?”
When we know ourselves, we will know what we really desire and then we find
purpose in life.
Most of the time, when
confronted with this question, we actually don’t know. So it is important that
we befriend ourselves, look intently and then gaze towards Jesus and say with
confidence like Bartimaus, “I want to see!”
What is it that you really
desire?
