Your Love, God is all I Need

Excerpt from "Field of Faith"

By: Bethany Huff

It often becomes a habit to say we love the Lord instead of a deep meaning. Jesus wants to be your only true desire in every aspect of your life. He wants you to make Him your all every day and not just when you are in need. He wants to be your everything!!!

In prayer, I was singing, “Jesus, You are my everything.” Then the Lord laid on my heart and whispered,

“Am I really the Lord of your every and your things?”

Then He downloaded like an atomic bomb this revelation:

I (me) have lots of “everies”. (Thoughts on my mind, details, plans, ideas, etc.) And I’ve got lots of “things”. (Things/stuff—house, car, clothes, shoes, jewelry, money, ministries, etc.) Do you have a lot of everies and things too? Many of us say we want Jesus to be our everything, but are we ready to make Jesus part of our every and all of the things in our lives? Are we willing to part with them to give our all to Jesus? Will we depend totally on Him and nothing else?

Ecclesiastes 11:5 says that God is the maker of ALL things. If He is the maker of ALL, then why is it so hard for us to make Him Lord over our everies (things running through our mind) and things (physical items)? It’s one thing to say “He is all we need,” but to act like it on a daily basis is a whole different story. Surrendering our every and thing means to daily die to self and to make Him our ALL in every and the things. To say Jesus is my one true love and desire, my everything, is a daily and sometimes hourly (minute by minute) choice of surrender.

I encourage you to spend time in the secret place (somewhere alone to talk to God and read His Word), stay connected to His heartbeat (hear His Word and obey) and seek His face (desire to know Him more) until Jesus becomes your EVERYTHING in the every and the things too. God’s love is ALL you need.

“Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” 1 John 4:8 (ESV)
