Our Greatest Need

July 9,2012

We are creatures with all kinds of needs. Without air, water or food for instance, we can't go on living. In addition to these absolutely basic necessities, we have a host of others that must be meet if we are to be healthy and happy. But these needs are just not physical, emotional and social; they are also spiritual.

I was a Christian for more than two decades now, and being one requires me to go to church every Sunday. I grew up in church, attend Sunday school, memorizing Bible verses, listened to Pastor's sermon, had friendship with the believers, and got ministered on music. Life of a Christian is like a roller coaster ride, it wasn't that easy at all. I had also my dark and lonely nights, doubts and fears assailed me, and a feeling of no escape of problem. I tossed and turned just as others do. I even asked God about my faith, minds in jumble, got to hold the bull on its thorns and ended up sinned.

Somehow, on marvelous way, I turned again to my Shepherd. I prayed, confessed my sin, asked for forgiveness and He forgive me again. I developed a wonderful relationship with Jesus Christ. Thought that I need God. That I'm sick and can no longer make it alone. I need God to help me give, because I no longer seem to be capable of giving. To help me kind,as capable of kindness. To help me love, as I seem beyond being able to love. By His Holy Spirit I enable myself to be kind, generous and loving.

For now, Ive been thanking God not just for the many blessings, but even on problems- that in it I realized that God was MY GREATEST NEED. = )

" When we have nothing left but God, we find that God is enough "

Matthew 4:4 It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone , but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. "

Everything has ended right away. It was like a dream that after waking up, the story has ended also. It was like a movie without part-2 , that left you wondering what's the next story. Its like prowling outside but didn't really actively looking for something. The truth is, your mind wanders somewhere far away. Then sadness creeps in, bitterness started to control you, "move on" seems the hardest words you ever heard. The moment you started begging for that something, was the moment you petty yourself. It was an inconsolable time, perplex mind was its peak. Your working but end up procrastinating. Everyday was a bummer, crabby attitude was evident. Have you ever wonder how expressive of sorrow your life is?

But at the end of the day you still can say, " Happy to someone who have built extensions to my boat and have made marks in my heart." Then  RESILIENCY become your favorite word and liked so much the Buddhist proverb, "The lotus blooms most beautifully from the deepest and thickest mud."

The Bible became your favorite book, you meant it as a bread for daily used, and so it was. Day and night you spend time reading and understanding it. You've found out that the word of God answers what you keep praying on. That in His words and presence you've find peace and strength. "Heaven and earth shall passed away but my words remain forever." Then on you relent on forgiveness, you've learn to let go, you've learned humility. Someone then asked you, " How did you find peace?" You answered, " You've got to let go of the stuff- because it just doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is what you choose to be now." -from watching Kung Fu Panda =) But the real thing is this, you've learned a striking Bible Verses during you Sunday School. 

John 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. 

Psalm 34:4 I sought the Lord, and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears. 

"You cannot changed the cards that was given to you, only the way you deal with them." If God allows you with circumstances still, give thanks! Pretty sure with the help of God's grace, you will overcome it and end victorious. God Bless you all!
