This is a question that Jesus asked the blind beggar in Luke 18:35-43, and this is a question that Jesus continues to ask us today. Just like a loving father would ask his children, God wants to be there for us whenever we have issues to resolve, problems to overcome.
Have we ever thought that anything was too trivial, "This is too childish to ask of God, better not ask."?
Have we ever thought that anything was too difficult, "This problem is too complicated, doubt God will be able to provide a way out anyway."?
Have we ever thought that anything was too ridiculous, "This request is totally absurd, think it's just my wishful thinking, God won't entertain one lah."?
But indeed, God is asking us, "What do you want me to do for you?" Let us never try to perceive the power of God and what He can do with our extremely limited human minds. If something seems an impossibility, it is the very thing which we have to ask for. While ultimately, whether it is the will of the Lord to accomplish what we ask of Him is His authority, let us ask God with the innocence of a child and maturity of the spirit what we'd like of Him to do for us.
"Lord, I pray that I grow to be more like you." Sounds impossible? This is precisely what we can ask for. God is glorified by doing the impossible for us.
"And Jesus said to him, 'Recover your sight, your faith has made you well.' And immediately he covered his sight and followed him, glofriying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God." ~ Luke 18:42-43

i think for this post, this verse answers the Lord's promise to us...
Matthew 7:8
For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
Let this post be an encouragement to everyone of us... ask for the passion to serve... ask for God to bring us back to him... ask for God for u to serve him better.. ASK!
I kinda interprete this sentence "What do u want me to do for u" another way. hee...
Have we ever reach out to the needy and asked "what do u want me to do for u?" These needy people can HARDLY reach us, so we need to reach OUT to them.
But well, mehh's post is still great anyway. =)
