God is Here.

The Lord is crazy awesome. I've really been struggling lately and He continues to put people in my path to speak amazing truth into my life. Some of these people really have no clue about what's going on in my heart and in my head but the things they say....the things they are sharing about themselves are the very things that I need to hear. They are the very things that I'm working through. It's such a blessing to hear their stories and to hear what God did in them and through them. The Lord really does know exactly what you need and when you need it.

All We Need is You.

I'm a sinner. I'm rotten and dirty. I'm selfish and unforgiving. I'm vengeful and unloving. I am not perfect. I fall and I fail. But! I am a child of the King! Hallelujah! All of that nasty is covered by the precious blood of the Lamb. And - He is working in me to get rid of all that bad. I'll still mess up and I'll still fall but He's slowly but surely changing me. I'm so grateful for the work that He's doing, the work that He's already done, and the work that He's going to do. God is SO GOOD. It really blows my mind sometimes.

He knows exactly what we need...when we need it. And - most of the time, all we need is Him. His grace. His mercy. His love. His kindness. His forgiveness. His salvation. His healing. His justice. His discipline. Him. We often look for so many other things to satisfy us....and they can't. They literally never will. Not fully. They will always leave us wanting. But - Christ....He is what we need. All we need. In Him is our comfort. Our rest. Our joy. Our peace. Our salvation. Our LIFE.

All we need is you, Jesus. Let me believe that. Understand that. Grasp that. Cling to that.
