"I Need You"

The song you are hearing right now from my playlist " I Need You" is very sentimental to me. Almost nine years ago after giving birth to Thomas & Katelyn 6 weeks early we had to leave the hospital without them because they had to stay in the NICU for two weeks. That was so hard for me to leave them, they were just in my tummy and I carried them around with me for a little over 7 months, they are part of me, they are like water and breath to me. How could I leave my babies, but I had to go prepare our home for them. This song was the very first song I heard on the radio as we drove away from the hospital.

I don't need a lot of things
I can get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring
I've always needed something
But I've got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You're my only reason
You're my only truth

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you

You're the hope that moves me
To courage again
You're the love that rescues me
When the cold winds, rage
And it's so amazing
'Cause that's just how you are
And I can't turn back now
'Cause you've brought me too far

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do
I need you
I need you

Now that nine years have past and I still listen to this song from time to time, I realize that this song means so much more to me. This song represents my need for Christ. I need Him like I need water and breath, He is mercy from heaven's gate. I can only find freedom in His arms because it is Him who carries me and delivers me. Oh yes, I do need you Jesus, you are the One who rescues me and gives me hope. You are my reason, you are my truth.

Thank you Jesus, I love you....................

On a side note I think about the day I left the hospital I was leaving so I could prepare our home for Thomas and Katelyn. This is exactly what Jesus is doing for us.

John 14:1-6

Jhn 14:1
"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
Jhn 14:2
In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Jhn 14:3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
Jhn 14:4
And where I go you know, and the way you know."
Jhn 14:5
Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?"
Jhn 14:6
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
