What Are Your Needs?

what is your needs?

There are many reasons for taking the Bible seriously. Among them is its practical wisdom for successful living. What is your need? See if the Bible addresses that need or its root.

Need for Love

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).
I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me (Galatians 2:20).

Need for Family

In love God predestined [planned for] us to be adopted as His sons (Ephesians 1:4-5).
You are no longer foreigners and aliens, but . . . members of God's household (Ephesians 2:19).

Need for Life

I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full (John 10:10).
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies" (John 11:25).

Need for Guidance

You have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 3:15).
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him (James 1:5).

Need for Strength

Everything is possible for him who believes. . . . With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God (Mark 9:23; 10:27).
God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it (1 Corinthians 10:13).
I can do everything through Him who gives me strength (Philippians 4:13).

Need for Security

My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. . . . The Lord will keep you from all harm - He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore (Psalm 121:2,7-8).
"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" (Hebrews 13:5-6).

Need for Forgiveness

Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins (Act 2:38).
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).

Need for Health

Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. . . . And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up (James 5:13,15).

Need for Peace

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid (John 14:27).

Need for Food and Clothes

Why do you worry? "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:28,33).
I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be blessed (Psalm 37:25-26).

Need for Friendship

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. . . . I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from My Father I have made known to you (John 15:13,15).

Need for Hope

In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade - kept in heaven for you (1 Peter 1:3-4).
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure (Hebrews 6:19).

All Your Needs

God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8).
My God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).

The map to success

The little boy had never seen his father study a map so carefully.
The little boy watches his father studying a city map. The boy asks, "Why do you need a Map?"
"Because we're going where we've never been before. Perhaps I can find work in this city," replies his father.
The boy thinks more. Suddenly he says, "Father, my birthday is coming soon. I shouldn't ask for much, but there is one thing you can give me."
"I'll give you whatever I can, son. What is it you want?"
The boy answers, "A map."
The father is puzzled. "Why do you want a map?"
The boy explains, "Because I am growing older. I will be going where I have never been before. And you said, 'For that, one needs a map'."
Suppose you are the boy's father or mother. What would you give to meet your son's need for a sense of direction in life?

Why Consider The Bible?

Consider the Bible as the Map for life. Its wisdom spans many centuries, yet millions today find its message as fresh and relevant as ever. They find that its principles work in daily life - in every stage of life. They discover purpose for living. That purpose gives them hope for now and for the future - even beyond this life. They believe in a home with God forever. In other words, they believe the Bible when it claims to speak for God.
In seeking a map for life, consider the Bible's claims. Again and again, it assures us that it is the pure word from our Maker. Yes, the Map for life.
In over 2,000 places the prophets of the Bible say things like this:

The Lord said to me . . .
These are the words of the Lord . . .
This is what the Lord says . . .

Moses said that God's laws, the Ten Commandments, were written "by the finger of God" on stone tablets (Exodus 31:18). He reported that God spoke with him "face to face, as a man speaks with his friend" (Exodus 33:11).
King David said,

The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me; His word was on my tongue (2 Samuel 23:2-3).

The prophet Jeremiah wrote,

Then the Lord reached out His hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "Now, I have put My words in your mouth" (Jeremiah 1:9).

We must seriously ask, "Did these prophets have a bad habit of lying? Or were they telling the truth, and God really did speak through them?"
Jesus assured us that the Bible prophets spoke the truth.

• He relied on their reports of history (Matthew 12:40; 24:37-39).
• He trusted in all their writings - also called Scriptures - and taught us the same trust (Matthew 5:17-19; Luke 16:17,29; 24:27,44; John 5:39-47).
• He based His teachings on the exact words they used (Matthew 19:5-6; 22:32). He asked, "Have you not read what God said to you?" (Matthew 22:31-32). -He reminded us, "The Scriptures cannot be broken" (John 10:35).

The apostles [Jesus' spokesmen] Paul and Peter taught the same thing.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
For prophecy [God's message] never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21).

 

The Bible answers our world's need for peace.

Peace I leave with you;
My peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
 Do not let your hearts be troubled
 and do not be afraid.”(John 14:27)

The Bible answers our world's need for peace.

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”(John 14:27)

The Bible answers your need for Love.

 

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."(John 3:16)

“Be not afraid of life.

Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact in you.

when i let go of what i am, i become what i might be.

Remember, you may find the worst enemy

or best friend in yourself today.

courage is the first of all human qualities, because it the quality which guarantees all others.

live each day as if yourlife had just begun.

The difference between a successful person and others is not lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge but rather a lack of will.”Don’t worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.” Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”because the end tells.
 

Life has two rules: 

1 Never quit 

2 Always remember the rule 1.”

The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

“Many of life’s failures are experienced by people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

“Every noble work is at first impossible.”“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”“Defeat is not bitter unless you swallow it.”“Nobody ever wrote down a plan to be broke, fat, lazy, or stupid. Those things are what happen when you don’t have a plan.”

“Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.”“An obstacle is often a stepping stone.”Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter in life.”  

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small and poor people always do that, but the really great makes you feel that you, too, can become great.”“I have never in my life learned anything from any man who doesn't agreed with me. In all, I am thankful for all of those who said NO to me. Its because of them I’m doing it myself.”

 

The Best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today

One of then deepest secrets
 of life is that all that is really
 worth doing is what l do for other.
your work is going to fill a large part                                
of your life, the only way to to be truly
satisfied is to do what you believe is great
 work. And the only way to the great work is
 to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet,
keep on looking,Don't give up. As with all matter of heart you will know when you find it.You must let go of the life you planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for you

My mission in life is not merely to survive,                       
but to thrive, and to do so with some passion                       
some compassion, some humor and some style                   

         happiness is not something you postpone for the future, is something you desire now.

Not, Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.

                                 

What wines do you avoid?

I avoid wines that I know are easily accessible for the recipient, like something they could buy from the closest corner store. Go to your local wine shop and talk to the staff. The good ones have curated their selection by tasting everything on their shelves. They’ll point you in the right direction.
I also stay away from wines that appeal to a very specific audience, unless I know for sure that the recipient is a fan. For instance, it would be a rare occasion that I would gift an alcohol-rich fruit bomb, or on the opposite spectrum, a skin-contact Georgian orange wine. Amphoras are cool, but not everyone “digs” them.

How much is too much or too little when purchasing wine as a gift? 
You probably want to spend more than two dollars, but I wouldn’t worry so much about the price as the thought that went into the purchase. If you know the host, or they are an adventurous wine drinker, I’d ask your wine shop about up-and-coming wine regions or interesting varietals. I love introducing people to varieties that are new to them, such as Trousseau Gris grown in Sonoma’s Russian River Valley or Teroldego from Trentino, Italy. A little effort says so much more than emptying your bank account.
