We Need You :)

“ As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,  rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding ^[]in it with thanksgiving.” – Colossians 2: 6-7 Remember that old song, “I need you like the flower needs the rain”.  Think about that phrase for a minute.  The flower can not grow without the rain and we can not grow without Jesus.  There are many who say we grow forward or fall backward, but we do not ever stand still.  There is much truth in this saying.  And the same is true of our relationship with Jesus, we are either growing closer to Jesus, falling away from Jesus, it’s our choice.  We need to choose wisely ?

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness” – Lamentations 3:22-23. God’s Blessings are New every morning.  They always will be!  His faithfulness is more than we can comprehend as human beings.  But one thing we can understand is that God will never leave us.  People leave our lives.  Sometimes they die, sometimes they move, sometimes they just make that choice.  But God will not!  He will always be with us and for us ?

“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”- Romans 15:13 The Holy Spirit, is and always will be, our Comforter and Friend.  In one of her songs, Kari Jobe refers to the Holy Spirit as our “Living Hope”.   That is a good description.  The Holy Spirit can fill us with hope again and again.  And Hope is something we can not live without.  These may seem like difficult times, but they are nothing compared to the days that are coming.  We will need the Holy Spirit (Living Hope) more than we realize.  We need to strengthen that relationship now, while there is still time ?

There are so many reasons to Love God and Trust Him-no matter the season.  He will walk through them with us-ALL of them. And we will need Him!
