JESUS >> i need HIM.

so how great is our God?? do you know? cause i thought i did... and then He showed me more and more that i ain't got a clue!!! let me tell you about it...

so late last night i was studying hebrew - it ain't that impressive... things weren't clicking like i needed them. so i was like, "Lord, i need You." and the response to my heart was so strong, i was blown away once again. cause His reply to my heart was, "Jared, you need me a whole lot more than just in Hebrew." the realization of the truth in that took me to my knees... in humility and brokeness.

you see, i don't know about you, but i go through my day thinking things are going pretty well. i can't count the number of times that i have the "how are you,, good,,, and yourself,, good" talk... and it has really gotten in my head that I am doing good. that things are going well because of what i got to offer. that it comes down to me >> but oh how the Lord has changed that one.

me - in my strength - ain't got nothing to offer, but here lately i've got myself relying on what i can produce - in class, in relationships, in sports, in business, etc. i get talking with friends - old and new - cutting up and laughing, talking about how good God is... and what He has done... but for me, it has been only from the reflections of what Christ has done in my past,,, not so much doing in me now. and thats where it hit me last night... i need Him >> Now more than ever... cause HE is all that i got going that is good!! how about you?

brokeness by Christ is such a gift... cause from it we can realize more and more that in our weaknesses, HE is truly is made stronger!! - Amen for that.
