JESUS KNOWS WHAT YOU NEED !

Jesus knows what you need. These are not just words, but reality. Jesus already knows all that is in your heart, mind and soul. He knows all the things that trouble you and all the things that bring you joy and happiness. JESUS is all knowing and that is a very good thing.

So many times, we do not know what we need or really want. We believe we may know, however, we do not. As we grow and allow life's lessons to teach us, we become more knowing. In every step we take, we can learn and become better and stronger individuals.

The journey of our lives and evolution can be exciting and fearless if we allow God to be in our lives. First, we must acknowledge that HE exists. Secondly, that HE loves us and only wants the best for us. Third, HE will never leave us or let us down and finally fourth, WITH GOD, WE WILL ALL SUCCEED. Success can be measured in our eyes, however, the way God measures success is more important. He takes into measurement, all that we are and all that we have done. HE does not measure all the material things we have collected. Those stay behind. They are not important.

During today's economic downfall, we can take this time to ask God to first, provide all that we need for ourselves and our families. Secondly, help us simplify our egos and learn not to feel competitive or jealous of our neighbors. Material possessions are not all that. Having the basics are important. We ourselves need to take some responsibility, in how we manage our money.

This time in our lives can be one of growth. We can benefit. Just as Jesus knows what we need and will somehow provide for all of us, we too can learn to be more wise in our financial decisions. Opening our eyes and becoming more simplistic, can lead us to a feeling of comfort. We can become more appreciative of what we have and somehow navigate through the falsehoods that "material things make us feel better".

What will ultimately make us feel better is knowing that God loves us and will help us. HE is beside us and sees all. Simplicity can be peaceful. Knowing all your needs will be met is comforting. Not worrying about the future is comforting. Do not worry. TRUST IN GOD. Replace WORRY with TRUST. All we have to do is act responsibly, God will do the rest.
