I was reading through the book of Philippians last night and one of the verses smacked me in the face.

I had read it before but it had never really stood out to me. I started thinking about it and the implications of it. This is what I believe it's saying.

For those of us that follow and submit to Jesus, all of our needs are met, right now...even though it might not feel like it. We have everything we need in Jesus Christ, who loved us and gave Himself for us.

"And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:19

This also means that if we feel Jesus isn't meeting one of our needs, perhaps it's not really a need. This verse is saying that any real needs we have are answered in a relationship with Jesus and being overwhelmed in His love. When we find our selves angry, impatient, bitter, lonely..we're not grasping how much Jesus loves us and how very near He is to us. We're seeking the love and approval of someone or something else other than our Savior.

As you go throughout your week, remember that there is someone who loves you immensely and completely. Who would give up anything in order to love you, who would stop at nothing to make you His, who not only risked His everything but really gave up His everything in order to call you His. He will never reject you or turn away from you. He will provide for everyone of your needs.

Jesus is coming soon and He can't wait to see you. 

Everything will be made new. 

This is real.
