The Copier

I was sitting at my desk today when I thought I heard one coworker ask another, "Do you need Jesus?"  I realized a second later that she had asked, "Do you need to use this?" about the copier, but it made me stop and catch my breath.

Does she need Jesus?  Do I?

My son came home from daycare with a behavioral progress report, and one area that is appropriate for him to develop at his age is recognizing need vs. want.  I may be an adult, but in our affluent culture, I sometimes have trouble discerning my needs from my wants.

And I'm still learning how much I need Jesus.  I tend to be a self-relier and (try to) make things happen on my own.  I am trying to be conscious of not forcing thing to happen.  I need to continue to step back, pray, rely on God, exercise patience, copy Jesus's example in daily living, need Him.
