Needing God In Our Lives

Have you wondered what it would be like if we couldn't go to God in our life? What that would be is a scary thing cause the truth is, we need God. In life circumstances, we are faced with many trials that show that we need God in our life. The first example is how sometimes the Enemy will try to have us turn our back on God, but God will help us to not listen to the lies of the Enemy. The truth is, we need God in our life because if we didn't, we would be in a world that would be scary, and we would be living in fear.

You don't realize Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you have.

If you lose Faith, you lose all.

I'd like to think that second quote is another reminder in why we need God.

The reason for that is because if we didn't have God, we wouldn't be here.

I like to think that brings me to my next point in why we need God in our lives.

We need Him because if you have ever seen the movie Unplanned, then you know what it's about. You see people making choices that can make God sad because God created us in His Image for us to live.

The movie Unplanned, even though it's not for young children, it is a movie that needs to been watched even if it is difficult to watch because it's another reason why we need God in our life, and why when going back to my original question of what would it be like if you had to wonder if we ourselves couldn't go to God, well it would be an absolute scary place and it would just be like turning away from Him and living in a life that is hard to live in, but with God we can accomplish anything in our life.

John 14 verse 6: Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 12 verse 46:  I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

Light of the world, You stepped down into darkness, Opened my eyes, let me see, Beauty that made this heart adore You, Hope of a life spent with You.

Romans 3 verse 23-26: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of His blood—to be received by Faith. He did this to demonstrate His righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— He did it to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have Faith in Jesus.

In this scripture it's another reason why we God because, yes we all have sinned and fallen short, but we are reminded in John 3:16 that says- For God So Loved The World, that He Gave His One And Only Son, That Whoever Believes In Him Shall Not Perish But Have Everlasting Life.

I think it's a prime example in the Romans Scripture and John 3:16 Scripture that show that we all have fallen short of the Glory of God, that God sent His Son to die on the Cross to forgive us of our sins, so that we could have everlasting life.

Now does this mean we would turn our back on God? No, what this means to me is that we are going to become stronger in who God says we are as His Beloved Child and that we need God more than ever.

… When I'm overwhelmed within, From the weight of all my sin, I need a friend to call my own, I need a house to call my home, When I'm broken down inside And there's nowhere else to hide, I need a place where I feel known, Can someone help me? Then I hear Your reply, Bringing teardrops to my eyes, Saying I'm not alone … Oh Lord, I need You now more than ever, Would You put my heart back together, I searched the world 'til my head hurt, Just to find out Your way's better, Oh-oh, Your way's better, Oh-oh, Your way's better, Oh, Lord, Your way's better, Jesus, Your way's better … Lord, I am so thankful for the ways that You blessed me, Everything You say making waves like a jet ski, You love every part of me, even when I was messy, Now I see the heart in Your beauty, So, I can finally sing Jehovah-Jireh provider, Your way always gets me higher, Even on my darkest days, You're a lighter, My Messiah … Oh Lord, I need You now more than ever, Would You put my heart back together, I searched the world 'til my head hurt, Just to find out Your way's better, Oh-oh, Your way's better, Oh-oh, Your way's better, Oh, Lord, Your way's better, Jesus (mmm), Lord, I need You now more than ever, Would You put my heart back together, I searched the world 'til my head hurt, Just to find out Your way's better.

If perfect was a race with a finish line, I'd be in last place every single time, Anyone who knows me, knows it's no surprise, I need Jesus (yeah), My strong's never been quite strong enough, My past ain't ever been quite gone enough, My prone to wander, yeah, it always likes to trip me up, Ay, I need Jesus, But ain't no weakness in being weak, Ain't no secret, what I need, I need mercy, I need grace, Yeah, I need a second chance every second of the day (every second of the day), I need a Savior, who calls me redeemed, There ain't nothing in this world that my heart needs, Like I need Jesus, (Na-na-na, na-na-na)(Na-na-na, na-na-na-na) I need Jesus, (Na-na-na, na-na-na), The enemy never seems to wanna let me go, Says you got what it takes to make it on your own, But I've been there, and I came back just to let you know, I need Jesus, yeah, Ain't no weakness in being weak (no), Ain't no secret, what this sinner needs, I need mercy (I need mercy), I need grace (I need grace), Yeah, I need a second chance every second of the day (every second of the day), I need a Savior (I need a Savior), Who calls me redeemed (who calls me redeemed), There ain't nothing in this world that my heart needs (that my heart needs).

In this last little bit, it sums up to what my heart needs and what all of our hearts need and that is God.

Are we going make mistakes, of course we will. Will God abandon our hearts? I know that He won't.

Are we going to be the ones that fall short from time to time? Absolutely, but God forgives us.

Does this mean we stop praying for those who do need to find God? No, it means we pray harder. Does it mean we stop talking to them? No, it means we start talking to them even better than before.

Does it mean we stop giving them words of wisdom? No, it means that we continue to do so in where God leads us to help those who are lost and desperately wanting a relationship with Christ because God is with us every step and in every step that we take that leads us back to the 99 where God finds us, shows that God will bring us back to Him and back Home to Him because He loves us deeply.

Galatians 2 verse 20:  I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

For me this last scripture is a reminder in why we need God because without God we would have nothing, but with God and with Him being in our life to guide us in the right direction, we have everything because God is who we need, not just sometimes, not just every now and then, but always.
