WHAT DO YOU NEED? The Beatles wrote `All you need is Love’ and the Rolling Stones `I can’t get no satisfaction’. What is it that you want?  To many their `wants’ are either money, drink, or sex! Whilst as we look more closely many would confess that what they really NEED is to be loved, to feel secure, have a sense of belonging, to be fit, well and healthy and have Peace.   Throughout the bible we find a God that meets His people’s NEEDS – not, necessarily their wants!  When Moses met with God by the burning bush the name God said that He should be called by was `I AM’ and throughout Jesus’ time on earth He kept on referring to himself as `I AM’ – The Way, The Light of the World etc.  Basically, what the Lord Jesus Christ and His Father God are saying is that the `I AM’ is I AM in any and every situation – He is the answer.  The Lord Jesus Christ said `I am come that you might have life – life with a capital L – Life in all of its abundance! Elsewhere in the bible in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians he talks about the self same God – the I AM who is able to do far, far more, exceedingly and abundantly above all that we can even ask or think!  For total FORGIVENESS, turn to God, for HEALING both of body, mind and spirit , turn to God, for perfect PEACE, turn to God, for LOVE  real, amazing love, turn to God, for LIFE in all its fullness and EVERLASTING turn to God.  Maybe you’d like to find out more?
