It's okay to need Him

So lately I have had several revelations that come out to say that it's okay to need God. I mean most might say,"well duh!" but sometimes it may not seem as obvious. It hasn't been that obvious for me lately, anyway. I think in this world we have become to independent and don't get me wrong independence is good but to much of it can be a bad thing. It becomes a bad thing when you are going through something big that you can't handle by yourself and you try to anyway. As humans we don't like to admit when we can't do something because it makes us seem weak. But sometimes asking for help is what makes us strong. 

There are going to be battles that we aren't supposed to fight in this world. There are things that are going to get broken in this world that are not our responsibility to fix. There are going to be times where we want to defend and it's not our place to defend. For example, when some one you love is hurting you just want to say something or do something to make it all go away and you can't. I mean you may be able to make them feel better for awhile but not forever. The only one that can truly heal them is Jesus.

I feel like the Lord has been telling me a lot "Put down your sword, let me fight for you." and that is so hard for me because anyone that knows me knows that I love to war for people I love to go to battle. I keep having to remind myself that it's okay for me to put down my sword and let the King of Kings fight for me. When you are fighting a battle your not meant to fight the burden that you feel begins to overcome you. That's not how it's supposed to be. For his yoke is easy and his burden is light. (Matthew 11:30). In Isaiah 52:10-12 talks about God laying bare is holy arm and how he will go before us and be our rear guard! How cool is that? That the King of Kings guards us! One of my spiritual role models thought of it as Jesus coming in on a white horse holding his sword up high and coming to our defense no matter what it may be. He really cares about our troubles no matter how big or small so don't ever feel ashamed about coming to him with anything and everything! He longs to be with you!!
