Need

I will be the first to say that I don't spend any amount of time considering the things that I need. I'm not really talking about material things because if I need those things, I get them and I'm not talking about heavenly things because those are taken care of for me. What I AM talking about is when I need from other people.

Recently, I needed someone to pull me out of my own pitty party. I was down in the dumps about life, in general, and for whatever reason didn't seek my usual comforter. What happened was that God saw fit to place me in a position to reach out to a friend that has been dealing with some life issues of her own that knew exactly how to help me and knew exactly what to say. Her words rang as true as the sun. She was able to take her own world and combine it nicely with mine.

After her thoughtful words and actions, I was able to reflect on my selfishness and realize AGAIN that I am here to serve God and not myself. Anyway, needing people is not such a bad thing; especially when you find yourself surrounded by God's other true and faithful servants. So, thank you friend, and thank you, Lord for seeing to my every need and supplying me with such wonderful beings to share this life with.
