The Beautiful Trait of Neediness

Let’s learn to be okay with neediness.  To learn the trait of neediness.  We live in a culture priding itself on not needing.  I don’t need community, or authority, or rest, all I need is me and in me.  Let’s learn the beautiful admittance that I cannot do it.  The lovely habit of following my need of Jesus straight to Him.  I am NOT big enough.  I am NOT strong enough.  To follow the heart-string tug of the Spirit that hums, “Come to Me, little one” and to fall straight at His feet instead of doing this one last thing or thinking, “yes, but later”  is to take for granted of the very thing Jesus died for - direct access!  For you and me to have access to the Throne-room of God.  Here.  And now.

Let’s learn the luxury of steeping in His presence as needed.  Not once every morning, or once we’ve waited and withheld ourselves long enough that we’re near anorexic of Him, just to binge in a strange mix of self-condemnation and self-righteousness, where we try to spend enough time there to make up for the time lost, and then we do it all over again.

To recognize your need is God’s grace on you.  Follow it and feast.
