I need you now.

I'm sure you've heard the song " Need you now" by Lady Antebellum.   From listening to the song, I'm assuming that its about a couple who broke up but secretly still love\need each other.  Now, when I listen to that song though .. for some reason the lyrics " Its a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now"  really speak to me,  How I am\feel now for the last several years.   True,   I can also relate to the song since I'm in a relationship with a man who lives thousands of miles away and I often feel like that,  since we'll apart a lot.   But, the first thing I think when I hear that song.  -  And the first time I heard it was yesterday, Then again that  night when I was trying to go to sleep is:  We need Jesus,  I need Jesus.  I mean really.. who else is gonna fulfill us forever and make us happy? - Who is gonna be there when " its a quarter after one, I'm all alone "  Even the best boyfriend in the world ( Okay, I'm biased.  but you get the point ) Isn't there. .  Yes, I could call him like in the song and frankly I wanted too,   Infact I had just gotten off the phone with him a few hours ago.  And I wanted to call him back. . but he was sleeping,  Because when we'll all alone and need someone.   We seem to automatically look to a human,  rather its a sibling, a friend, a parent, a spouse or your lover.   Because its so much easier they are there.  You can hear, feel and see them.  Its usually instant, even if your on the phone or w\e.  Its instant.  You instantly feel not alone and better.   But,  I think God wants us to first look to him.  And I don't think he wants us to have to "wait" to feel in his presence.   wether or not your in some awesome spiritual moment or not.   Your always in his presence.   " I will never leave you,  Nor forsake you"  Hes always there,  Always.  Rather we feel him or not.   Last night,  even though I fell asleep wishing that I could feel him there 'more'  he was still there.   He wasn't ignoring me, he wasn't to tired to be with me.  Or gone, or at work or doing homework.   He was there,  he's always there and never to busy for us.   ( Think about it for a minute, its awesome! ) so when we'll all alone.   He's always there.  always waiting to make us not alone.   And, We always need him now.  And he wants us too need him.   Its not like he gets tired of us,  he delights in our clingy-ness.   I often feel towards God like:    " And I wonder if I ever cross your mind"   

Psalm 139:1-3 - O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar, you discern my going out and my lying down, you are familiar with all my ways. (NIV)  So yeah, we cross his mind.  Duh.  = )

P.s. I dont think theres anything wrong with, with needing people too, or getting comfort from them, and curing your loneliness, etc.  Cause God made us to dwell together and need each other,  We just need our ultimate fulfillment from God. <3
