Acts 2:45
And sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.
Need. What do I need? Before Jesus was the Lord of my life I thought I needed many of things. And I made sure I had them because I was told of I didn't have them I would...Somone would think....People would say...I would... honestly i don't know why I needed them I just did. I believed almost everyone needed them (well except dem Jesus freaks) and if they had them, I wanted what they had. I needed money; that was the biggest because if I had money, I could buy the clothes that I needed, the car that I needed, the drugs I needed, the food of course I needed, and if I had all these cool awesome ill sick wicked coool things that I needed, I would get the girls that I needed, so I could have sex which was most important of the things that I needed.
Then after I had all these things that I needed, I still felt completely empty. How could this be? Well one night a Jesus freak, yes, a girl who loved Jesus told me in a nut shell that there was only one thing I've only ever needed. (In my head "sex with you?") She said it. The word and name that changed my life. The word and name that made me realize that everything that I've ever thought I needed was a lie because it was everything that I wanted and what I wanted wasn't going to save me from eternity in hell. This word and name showed me truth. It showed e that all I ever needed was love and that I could give up all these awesome sick ill wicked cool things for a love that will never leave. Jesus. Jesus Christ made me realize I could give away everything I once thought I needed, not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too. Now what I have and truly need, I'm able to to share it and bring others to know the truth, so they too can live a new life in Jesus Christ and not in this world where they believe they need it.
Application:
Today when I think I need something, I am going to pray and seek the Lord to see if it is something of Him and no just something that I want.
