Needy
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
Jesus, You spoke the word and the storm became still. Lord, I need a word like that.
Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm (Mark 4:39 NKJV).
Jesus, those who touched the hem of Your garment were made
whole. Lord, I need a healing like that.
Wherever he went—in villages, cities, or the countryside—they brought the sick out to the marketplaces. They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed (Mark 6:56 NLT).
Jesus, You gave the spiritually hungry living Bread. Lord, I need to be fed like that.
Yes, I am the bread of life! Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh.” (John 6:48-51 NLT).
Jesus, You placed Your hands upon the children and blessed them. Lord, I need a touch like that.
Then he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them (Mark 10:16 NLT).
Jesus, You blessed the bread and the wine as You communed with
Your disciples. Lord, I need fellowship like that.
While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.” And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many (Mark 14:22-24 NIV).
Jesus, You said You go before Your sheep and they follow You. Lord, I need guidance like that.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber. “But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep. “To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. “When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice (John 10:1-4 NLT).
Jesus, You promised a place in Your Father’s house to those with
troubled hearts. Lord, I need assurance like that.
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27 NKJV).
Jesus, You lived to please Your Father. Lord, I need a relationship like that.
And the one who sent me is with me—he has not deserted me. For I always do what pleases him (John 8:29 NLT).
