This is a reminder to myself. I need Jesus.

I need Jesus more than I need a wife.

I need Jesus more than I need financial stability.

I need Jesus more than I need a newer car.

I need Jesus more than I need that next flannel shirt.

I need Jesus more than I need that next vacation.

I need Jesus more than I need to see “my people” elected into office.

I need Jesus more than I need to see everybody else abiding by the code of conduct that I decide is fitting.

I need Jesus more than I need coffee.

I need Jesus more than I need the next breath.

I need Jesus more than I need to be affirmed and acknowledged and loved.

I need Jesus more than any self-help study or any 10 steps to a better me program.

I need Jesus. Period.
