This morning before I even got out of bed or dusted the sleep from my eyes, I was reading Gwen Smith's post "I'm Needy When It Comes To Love".
How many of us aren't....needy for love.
I surely am.

Ephesians 3:16-19
"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
may have power,
together with all the saints,
to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge----that you may be
filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."

The part of this Scripture that hit me right smack in my heart in my wee hours of waking up was.....to KNOW this love that surpasses knowledge....THAT YOU MAY BE FILLED TO THE MEASURE OF ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD!!!!!
WOW!!! That blew me away....Filled to the Measure of the Fullness of God!!!
That's enough for me to chew on for weeks if not months!
If I'm filled with that measure then my need for any other affirmation will be diminished. It won't be that I don't need to know others love me, it's just that I KNOW this measure of the fullness of God....that will be enough to keep me safe, warm, needed, loved.

If this text isn't enough....the following verses are the jet fuel of my Spiritual Life! His power at work within me.
