What do you want? John 1:37
And no-nonsense, getting down to business,
the first thing you ask us,
in this most beautiful of books.
is a question.
What do you want?
I am today ashamed of the smallness
of my desire.
But I must be honest about it.
Here it is.
I place it in your hands.
Please grant it.
But if you transform it,
or deny it,
still, be thou blessed.
Just give me your joy.
Give me yourself.

Jennifer in OR says
So glad you're doing this.
In verse 39, so close to what you just talked about…”He said to them, come and see…and they came and saw…” You've touched on this idea before, of just coming, and here it is in this verse, I love that.
