More of God
A few months ago, I listened to a podcast by one of my teachers entitled "More of God". It suggested that no matter who you are, what circumstance you are in, how you are feeling, what is going on, there is one thing that every single person needs.
More of God.
If you are "down" in some way - desperate, hurting, broke, lonely, confused, angry, frustrated, unemployed, betrayed, attacked, judged, incapacitated, or anything else - what you ultimately need is more of God.
If you are "up" in some way - content, elated, peaceful, happy, loved, secure, feeling cared for, safe, successful, healthy, or anything else - you, too, need more of God.
In any circumstance, no matter what it is, and no matter who you are, more of God is what is called for. Whether you are aware or unaware of it, more of God is what you are longing for. More of God is the answer to everything.
Am I oversimplifying? Is there "more to it"? Certainly!
And... No. Of course, we are all different, in different places, needing different things at different times.
But if all good things come from God (James 1:17), then even those specific things that you feel would be uniquely good for you are from Him as well. God is universal enough to be all that we need generally, and specific enough to provide all that we need uniquely.
More of God. I need it. You need it. We need it. Those "Beyond Us, Beyond Here" need it. He is, literally, the answer to everything for everyone all the time.
So, how? How do we "get" more of God?
