YOU SURE NEED HIM!


                                                             YOU NEED JESUS! 


Today, many of us are searching
And maybe someone in here is on the internet searching
Looking for a life partner
Looking for joy
Looking for love
But the sad thing is, after spending days, hours
And sometimes even years of searching
You still fill empty
Why? 
I think, you need Jesus! 

You are always on the move,
Busy, busy, busy...
Are you a busybody? 
In search of what you can't seem to find
Will you be offended if I give you a last name, Martha? 
So you'll be named, John Martha, Grace Martha, James and the list of Martha's goes on and on 
You are busy doing good works, right? 
Well, that's okay! 
But then, why Is there so much emptiness in your life? 
Don't you think you need more of Jesus? 
Oh, yes you do!

I got him! 
That's fine,you can say it again
Remember even Martha had Him
But didn't take time to be with Him
So,who's fooling who? 
Are you just carrying Him around? 
Showcasing Him like the latest fashion design? 
Hey! Look,haven't you seen this,
Another Jesus design!
Mmmmh,it's a good one.
And we are glad God made it.
But why is there so much sorrow,bitterness and pain in your heart? 
Friend! 
I think you need Jesus! 

It's okay to go for Christian parties,
You know the Jesus parties you go to...
And I am not saying this cause I don't go to them
Infact,I do,and I totally love them
But you see,it's one thing to dance for Jesus or rather,to party for Him
And it's another to walk with Him
To make Him part and parcel of your life
To hide His words in your heart 
To sit at his feet like Mary did
And just listen,
Listen to his sweet words
His words that are sweeter than honey
His words that are sharper than a double edged sword
His words that can penetrate even to dividing of soul and spirit,joints and marrow,it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Parting is not enough! I said parting is not enough! 
You need Jesus! 

Your friends can't give you enough joy
You need Jesus! 
Your family can't give you enough warmth
You need Jesus!
Your husband or wife can't satisfy you
You need Jesus! 
Your job can't fulfill you
You need Jesus! 

Yes!
You,you and you
Infact,all of you

You need Jesus! 

Not just to have Him
But to walk closely with Him
Following and obeying His word
And letting it teach,rebuke,correct and train us in righteousness
Do you feel you need Jesus like I do?
