We have different stages in life. Those stages vary in all sorts of ways with all sorts of people. During one of the stages, we begin to understand more the difference between what we want and what we need. As a kid, you think you need all sorts of things you don’t actually need. Whether it is a certain toy or candy you think you need, it is stuff you don’t actually need. As kids we don’t always have the ability to think rationally. Even as an adult, I catch myself thinking I need something that I actually just want and don’t need. In my current stage of life, the lesson of need versus want continues. The fact is I need Jesus. I need God’s power. I need his Holy Spirit. It is unfortunate, but for a while I was just relying on myself and not God. I was looking to myself for all the answers. I was looking to myself to do things. What I encountered is this: I can’t do it. I’m not good enough. I’m not skilled enough. I’m not strong enough. The most important thing I realized though is I can do it, I am strong enough, good enough and skilled enough with the help of my Savior. So, I have made a point in my life to need God and to seek him out for help and direction. I am asking him for help in so many areas of my life. I believe when we realize that we need God, we become who we are meant to be. We are meant to be followers of God. If you don’t agree with me, that’s cool. I’m not here to persuade you. I am here to share how my life is changed by my Savior. You and I both need God whether you have figured it out yet or not. I hope that you do. I hope you do because your life will change for the better.
