“What do you want me to do for you?” is actually the question Jesus asked most frequently in the New Testament. He knew that being in touch with desire has the potential to shape decisions and affect the overall trajectory and outcomes of a person’s life. Desire, rightly identified and effectively harnessed, eventually gives way to the hope that what we desire really could come to pass and the faith to live as though it were real. ~Ruth Haley Barton
