I came across this thought from a sermon that i heard a while ago when i was in Springfield with Andy, and i just thought about it today-I think there is a special reason for this thought and the Lord is trying to get my attention...
Are we working to grow out of Jesus, to be as independent as possible, or are working to grow more into Jesus and his need for him?
Wow, what a thought this gave me the biggest epiphany. Since I have given my life, and surrendered my heart to the Lord, I tried to work my way out of needing God. That if I know this much, or if I did or didn't do this I wouldn't need God anymore.....but the closer and closer I thought I was thinking I didn't need him, the harder I fall. But when I hold onto my Jesus for everything at my hardest, he rescues me. He never fails me...we must hope in him.
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? hope in God; for I shall again praise Him, my salvation and my God. Psalm 43:5
The Holy Spirit is ever working in us, there's never a break for the Spirit. We shouldn't take a break on the Lord then. The Lord isn't giving up on us. We are free, we are delivered, even at our most broken...
Praising God again...thank you Lord for Saving me...thank you Jesus for redeeming me.

Work into Him, not out of Him. lean towards dependence, not independence.
