Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.

Then Jesus spoke, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ 
Mk.10:51

Why does Jesus ask Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, what doesn't require asking? To draw faith out of him. Faith not only gives Bartimaeus his sight, it saves him.

Jesus uses every situation to draw out faith from people. Where there is faith, miracles happen. Simply by reading today's gospel story of Bartimaeus' miracle healing, my faith is built up. As the crowd said to Bartimaeus, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.”

Come Lord Jesus. work miracles in my life and the lives of those I love.
