My needs. Boy do I even really have a grasp on what my true needs are? Where are you in life my friend? What is it that you need? What is it that you know deep down in your heart you would suffer great pain if you didn't have it? Is that a need...that thing.....is it a need? I will tell you that my Father has taken me through A LOT OF PAIN...most of you know this. I have cried so very much, I have come from disbelief in what I was doing was wrong....inappropriate...whatever, to bowing my heart to Jesus, then waiting as He showed me why it was wrong (so many things dear friends), to hearing the answer and being fulfilled in Him.
Dear friends this is what you need:
When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how WIDE, how LONG, how HIGH, and how DEEP his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fulness of life and power that comes from God. Ephesians 3:14-19
I dare ask you this friend: Do you know how much God loves you. Do you know how deep it is? Do you know how high it is? Do you know how far it stretches?....it never loses elasticity??
Whatever God has brought to your life this week or next week or in the next month that was created and designed by our Father to show you how He will meet your need. Did you know you have NO need that He cannot meet? Okay, I'm saying every need. He meets you there becuase He is the one who created you....He understands you intimately and knows what you need...and He is wanting you. There is deep truth here folks....and I can tell you honestly with all the pain I have gone through lately I am on the healing side and seeing, breatheing in, growing up in the love my Father has for me....and I still don't know it fully. Only when I see Him face to face, but for now He has me right where He wants me. I'm like a little girl twirling in my easter dress in front of my Dad and he is admiring my beauty. I never knew what joy could come from understanding the pleasure He takes in me.
But what is your story right now? I know part of it....it's in the verses I wrote above. God wants you.....so ask Him to speak to you. Ask Him to change your mind...to expose the things you thought were "just fine"....and be open to the fact they just might not be "just fine". I'll tell you this my friend, our Father is gentle and kind and good. He never gives us what we cannot handle...through Him. So don't go this alone wherever you are becuase He wants to meet your need....I am living proof that He can meet every need. Go to your Father....He is all you need....He is it. He created you to have fellowship with Him to worship Him and we should all know that doesn't mean just singing songs! Worship Him with your need....be honest with Him where you are...even if it sounds "wrong"! He meets you where you are....it doesn't come as a surprise to Him...He fashioned this for you so that you would come to Him. He isn't going to nag you, push you.....He doesn't force, He invites. That is so beautiful! He sees the mirey clay we are in and waits for us to raise our hands like little children crying out to their Daddy "come for me"! He is there....He is waiting....He is patient....He has healing for your wound.
Dear Father as I sit here in my home I know there are those of my friends hurting now and needing your specific touch now. Father I have come to know your tender mercies towards my wounded heart and they are the most tender loving great awesome wonderful kindesses You have shown me. Father draw them to yourself. I pray for them Daddy...they need you and they need to see how you meet their every need. Show them Father, love on them, hold them tenderly, let them feel that, speak what they need to hear, guide them when they are weak...to weak to know where or what to do, direct their steps as they begin to plan their way again, keep them dependant on your lamp light you Word. Father I love you. In your precious son's name Amen.
