Independence or Dependence, which one have you chosen?

Why do you want to be Independent?  Well back in the day, I thought I wanted to be independent and I thought I was an Independent Woman.  Sadly mistaken...I discovered that I was not that Independent after all because I could not do it alone.  Have you found this out also?  Well, the reality is that we need to be dependent on the only one who can truly supply our needs.  That of course is Jesus Christ in our lives.  Have you given your life to Christ?  If not, then this is the answer that you have been looking for.  Please accept Him today and you will be saved...Say...I believe that Jesus is  Lord. He died on the cross for my sins and He arose again...Rom 8:9-13...That is all that you need to say then connect with a Bible Based Church and allow the Man or Woman of God to follow God's Word and lead you into a better understanding of who God is.  Now if you said yes, I am saved...Are you really living the life that God ordained for you to live?

During this Independence Weekend, ponder your Independence and find out whether you have allowed yourself to be dependent on someone or do you take all the credit.  Prayerfully you depend on someone and that person is Jesus!  Get right with Christ today and see how He will open the windows of Heaven and pour you out a Blessing which you will not have room enough to receive.  That is how awesome my God is.  That is the life that I live today.  More blessings on a daily basis.  Those blessings include life, health, strength, family and good friends.  Then there are other blessings which come out of my desires because the Lord answers my prayers.  Praise God for His goodness and the many blessings that He bestows upon your life...Read Deuteronomy 8:10 - 18.

Today we must be in a position of receiving.  But we must understand how to get there.  God wants that person who is empty.  Now you are probably saying I do not want to be empty, but remember emptiness must come before fullness.  Have you heard people refer to others as being so full of themselves.  Those are the kinds of people who no longer or never had God first in their lives.  Put God first today and see how He will change your life in ways you cannot even imagine.  When you empty yourself, you are letting God know that you need Him in your life and more of Him daily.  What a marvelous feeling when you hunger for more of Him. 

I know first hand how hungering for the Lord has changed my life and my way of thinking.  I have become empty on many occasions but I need to remain empty for the Lord.  Remember we have to be dependent on someone...why not make it Jesus!  The only need you should ever have is that  you need more of Him.  Then you will never need for anything because He is your Provider, your Jehovah Jireh.  Understand that your needs are already met if you are saved and living as God instructs.  Be obedient unto His Word and see how your needs will be met and you will also receive the desires of your heart...Philippians 4:19

Be Blessed and be a Blessing.  The more you give the more you will receive.  When you let go of what is in your hand, God will release what is in His hand.  I love you and you can do nothing about it!
