Do You Have Needs? Jesus Is All-Sufficient

I remember in my psychology class, we have discussed about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. We have lots of needs, tons of demands. There are times when we run out of our means- our resources to meet our needs. So what should we do? Philippians 4:19 says, “And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”

In order to meet your demands and your needs, you have to determine the Source. Jesus is the source. Only God can supply our needs. The very reason that we fail to meet our needs is that we just use our resources neglecting the only source. Jesus is the only source of everything.

Jesus is the only answer to our questions. Yet, what hinders us to directly ask our needs to our Only Source?

Most of the time, we tend to be preoccupied. We are preoccupied with ourselves. When you think of your needs, you ask yourself how can you do this and that, when in fact, you ought to ask the Only Source.

You become preoccupied with your own weaknesses. The moment that you fix your eyes on your own self in meeting your needs all you can find is just another liability. That is the most common mistake people normally do. What is it that you can boast before God, the Only Source? So, you sometimes get preoccupied by your resources, not knowing they can all run out, so who else can replenish those resources?

Another lapse we have is our broken connection. That is the reason you don’t have direct access to the Only Source. Yet, our broken connection can still be fixed. The crucifixion of Christ becomes the bridge that enables us to have a direct access to the Father, the Only Source. If you want to have this direct access to the Father, you have to believe in your heart and confess that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

Romans 10:9 tells, “If you confess with your mouth that, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God rose from dead, you will be saved.”

Having the right connection with Jesus will allow you to enjoy a good relationship with Him. You don’t have to struggle with yourself anymore because you now have Jesus.  Jesus said in John 15:5, “Apart from me you can do nothing.” Jesus is all you need to meet all your needs.

Nobody and nothing in this world can even promise you that. Only Jesus can guarantee you of a good life. Jesus is all you need.

Whatever it is maybe that you need now, you have to be reminded that He knows it all. He knows everything about you. The good news is, now that you have Jesus in your heart, there is nothing for you to worry about. Jesus is greater than all your needs. He is more than all of your resources because He alone is the Only Source of everything. Every time you start bothering about your needs, just go to the Only Source- Jesus. Do you want to be connected to Jesus? Surrender your all to Him. He will not only take care of your needs; He will also use you to meet the needs of others.
