Just what I need

"Jesus is all I need" has been playing on the Pandora station I am listening to this morning.  My time with God this morning was about keeping the first things first.  Matthew 6:33 instructs me to "Seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God..."

There are days when I feel like I need to be rescued from pressures and stresses of life.  But Jesus is all I really need.

I am often so busy working down my "to do" list that I resemble a head with my chicken cut off.  But Jesus is all I really need.

I hear of the struggles others are facing and my heart grows heavy with concern and sorrow.  But Jesus is all I really need.

One of my very favorite verses is Psalm 73:26.  It says "My flesh and my heart faileth, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."  My flesh fails me at every turn because I just don't have what it takes to override sin in my life.  My heart fails me when I become discouraged and disappointed in myself.  BUT GOD!!!  God has the strength and power that my heart needs.  And He has all of it that I could ever use up!

Whatever is happening in your life, your attitude can determine whether it destroys you or not.  So if God is the strength my heart (attitude), I can get through ANYthing!  And He is my portion forever.  I will never run out of His strength, I will never use up my allotment, it will never expire.

Yuppers.  Jesus is all I need.  "The Lord is my Shepherd - - what else could I want?"

    About Me

    I am the wife of Pastor Mark, the mom of Anthony (and his Destiny) and Ashleigh, and I am a Daughter of God. We minister in a small church in the Denver, Colorado area. I enjoy so many things that I just say "I enjoy LIFE!" I have been writing since I began my very first diary in third grade. I love words...whether they are written, spoken, sung, or smeared on a foggy window. Never at a loss for words, it seems I always have SOMEthing to say! There have been plenty of opportunities for me to eat a few of my words as well. "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." Before my husband became a pastor, we moved and traveled a lot because of the different jobs he had. Some of our stories are real doozies! This blog will be a great place to share....from my heart!
