He Will Fullfill Your Needs

When you have little ones or babies, you see how they depend on you. When they are hungry, they let YOU know by crying or showing signs that you know. When they are hurt your the one to comfort them. They need you, they couldn't survive without you and they have a very special bond with you that they don't have with anyone else. No one can take your place. They need you. As a parent it is an important role and feeling. Likewise we are God's children. He wants us to have that dependency on him. He wants you to completely rely on him for everything!! If you need anything at all he wants you to be his baby and come to him first. He spiritual feeds you, heals you, fills you up, takes your broken self and makes you whole.

Baby's Needs:                                                                          Mom's Responses:
hungry ----------------------------------------------------------->feeds
hurt ------------------------------------------------------------> comforts
tired ------------------------------------------------------------>console
dirty ----------------------------------------------------------->clean
upset ---------------------------------------------------------->show love/affection

in the same way baby's look for their mom's to fulfill, Jesus wants us to look to him to fulfill our needs

My Needs:                                                                           Jesus' Responses:

broken ----------------------------------------------------------> restore Psalm 51:12)

empty ------------------------------------------------------------> fill up (Colossians 2:10)

incomplete ------------------------------------------------------> completes (Isaiah 58:11)

Matthew 11:28-30
Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. FOr my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Psalm 51:12
Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Colossians 2:10
...and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is head over every power and authority.

The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.

What I have learned from this is in every aspect of my life go before God. It brings him so much joy.

prayer:
Lord help us to rely on you completely. Let us come to you daily to fill us up. Help us to submit to the fact that you are the complete answer to all our needs. In your name we pray
Amen.
