“You don’t need God…to hope, to care, to love, to live”
They then cut to the response of a few Christians, and one lady was quoted saying, “I’ll see it but I won’t look at it.”
WHAT? How do you see without looking?
Anyways, guess what?

The billboard is true. You don’t need God for those things. You really don’t.
Then what do you need God for?
Yes, we need God for our salvation. Acts 4:12 says that “salvation is found in no one else!”
But is that all you need God for…Salvation?
“If you could have heaven, with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with heaven, if Christ was not there?”
I need God because I am in love with Him!!
I need Jesus because he has transformed me!!
I need the Holy Spirit because he comforts me!!
I don’t just need Him…I want Him!!
I want God with me in my highs and lows, in my best times and my worst times.
If I had nothing, but had Him I would have enough!
I believe that because I want God…
…it drives me to hope in eternal things that will never end and not temporary, earthly things that one day will fade away.
…it drives me to care for people with a greater, self-less, active compassion than if I was without Him.
…it drives me to love Him and others, no matter what, with no strings attached just like He loves me.
…it drives me to live a life that is more abundantly full of joy, trust, and a desire to see lives around me renewed, and restored.
The billboard is right I don’t need God…I have to have God!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I pray that you come to that point in your own life. And then be unashamed about sharing that with those in your life each day whether you meet them just once or you have known them for a lifetime!! Remember that they do need God!
