Jesus, our greatest need

Jesus Christ is the lover of our souls. He creatd a space in every human heart that only He can fill. We try to find fulfillment or significance or security in relationships, possessions, money, success but nothing satisfies. We go from relationship to relationship looking for love in all the wrong places. We buy more things thinking they will satisfy. We work harder, longer, hoping that will satisfy us thinking if we have more money we will be happy. There is only one thing that will satisfy the longings of the human heart and that is an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. We may use drugs or alcohol for a temporary high but it does not satisfy, or we may use them to deaden the pain of loneliness or emptiness but nothing can satisfy our hearts except Jesus Christ.

God loves you so very much that He gave His one and only Son for you. He is love and His love is so amazing. Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected to life making a way for us to come into the presence of God. There is nothing that He won't forgive. There is nothing that we can do to earn His love, no amount of work. It is simply His amazing grace by accepting His Son Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour that we are brought into a right relationship with Him. Our broken, empty, lonely hearts are healed, not by anything we do but by His sovereign power and amazing love.

Our pride says we don't need Jesus but He is everything we need.
