thats not enough!?!

What do we mean when we tell God "All I need is you"?

Do you we really mean...
"God I need you and some money and then I'm prepared to go wherever you take me"
or "I can do anything with you and qualifications"
or whatabout "I can go anywhere and speak your truth, just give me better public speaking skills first"
how many times have we told God "I will follow you Lord, just let me do this first" (let me go bury my father)

we always find some excuse ...
But being relient on God nullifies our excuses for being inadequate for the job.
We will always be inadequate unless we rely soley on the One who is so much more than adequate!

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
Phil 4:13

God all I need is you

Hey Tom! I like your blog's new look (now that I'm back online and can check), and I also loved this post. God was totally teaching me about that on my trip--all I need is him. He is so much more powerful than I was realizing! The whole trip was amazing and taught me more than I could tell you. I'll drop you an e-mail sometime with more details about the trip itself. Hope you're doing well!
A friend in Christ,
Katy

how true.. =) i can relate to that.

been blessed by your writings and definitely, your love for Jesus! God bless you and your works for Him!

Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
