I HAVE DESIGNED YOU TO Need Me moment by moment. As your awareness of your neediness increases, so does your realization of My abundant sufficiency.
Dear Jesus, The longer we live, the more aware we become of our neediness. Many people - as they gain life experience - seem to become increasingly confident about the accuracy of their opinions. We are increasingly aware that our understanding is like the tip of an iceberg. What we don't comprehend is so much greater than what we actually understand. This is just one of many areas where our neediness has become more apparent to us.
Beloved, recognizing the limits of your understanding is good, because it can enhance your relationship with Me. You need Me continually - not only for daily bread and blessings, but also for the endless decisions you must make each day. If you had greater confidence in your knowledge and openness, you might feel more comfortable: that walking close to Me on the path of Life is far more important than comfort. Remember that the road leading to Life is a narrow one and only a few find it. So don't expect your journey along this path to be easy.
Awareness of your neediness helps you receive many blessings from Me. As you come to Me with your vast insufficiency, I draw near you with My infinite sufficiency. My abundant supply and your needy condition fit together perfectly - keeping you intimately connected to Me. The more consistently you rely on Me, the better your life will be. Not only will I meet all your needs through My glorious riches, I will also delight you with the Joy of My Presence. This is the way I want you to live: in joyful dependence on Me!
- Jesus
