To need or not to need…

There’s many circumstances in life when we are in need of people. I need to see a doctor when I have to get some type of medication ie immunisation, I need an official to sign documents when I have to apply for various things, etc etc etc. What I find though, is that when I have a personal need I am not always sure of who or where I can turn.

We build up friendships over the years, some are deeper than others, but all friendships go through times of wealth & poverty. Some of my friends haven’t heard from me in a long time, some I saw just today. However, it’s in times of intense poverty of spirit, in poverty of knowledge to my own needs, that I search for someone to turn to. The irony is that most “friends” would feel honour for someone to come to them. I know I do, when I have a friend in need, I am honoured that they would entrust me with some of their struggle. I also know that there’s many a time when I’m not in a good place to help them, either with time, or emotion, or focus.

Thank God that there is a God. It’s in those times of intense need that I most need to remember that no matter what, God will never judge me, God will never be thinking about something else, that God will always just be there for me.

I think the nicest thing though is that God will always be ready to be seen in those other people around us. I think we’ve just got to let him…
