What do we really need?

We need God. Jesus taught that we cannot do anything of any eternal importance separated from Him. John 15:4 – 5 “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” With the help of the Lord Jesus, we can endure all of life’s challenges. We can accomplish all of the assignments that He has placed in our care. Phillipians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

We also need each other. We were created by God to excel as a body. We need each other more than most people realize. We are stronger with each other. What I lack, you possess. My strength is not just for me. It’s also for you. Your gifting is someone else’s answer to prayer. Always remember, we are stronger together!Ecclesiastes 4:9 – 12 “Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” We need God and we need each other. Never forget that.
