Age of Independence ~

One of my daily readings is a book entitled "Jesus Calling", by Sarah Young. 

It is by far the best daily devotional book I have ever read. 

Today's is one I wanted others to read, it was such

an important lesson for me to learn in my own life.

If nothing ever went wrong, why would we

feel the need for God? 

Not one of us enjoys the difficult times in our life, yet it is in them

where we grow the most and realize there is so much we can't do 

 or handle in our own strength.... 

Enjoy the read, below is a portion of today's...

In this age of independence, people find it hard to 

acknowledge their neediness. However, I have taken you 

along a path that has highlighted your need for Me: placing

you in situations where your strengths were irrelevant and 

your weaknesses were glaringly evident.  Through the aridity

of those desert marches, I have drawn you closer and closer

to Myself.

You have discovered flowers of Peace blossoming in 

the most desolate places. You have learned to thank Me for 

hard times and difficult journeys, trusting that through them 

I accomplish My best work.  

You have realized that needing Me

is the key to knowing Me intimately, which is 

the

gift above all gifts.

this is what echos from my heart today.......
