sick for Jesus

"The difference between Uncle Sam and Jesus Chrsit is that Uncle Sam won't enlist you unless you are healthy and Jesus won't enlist you unless you are sick." -John Piper, Desiring God

I used to think needing Jesus was a weakness. Thinking I was pretty strong on my own, I didn't want to need Him. And yet, I've learned through the years that realizing my need for Him is exactly where I need to be.

I've come to dearly hold onto the words of the famous hymn "I Need Thee Hour." And Father God, may I never forget it.
