God shall supply all my needs?

[Svt4Him]

While going through a separation, I was told to seek God, and nothing more. I thought that wasn't true that we only need God, as the Bible says it's not good for a man to be alone. During the separation though, I think we need to seek God. I told God if that was true, then I needed a hug, and asked God how He'd provide that (funny it was more of a statement that it wouldn't happen).

I was over at my sister's house. I have a little niece who's 2 but she always runs away from me (doesn't get out much). I sat down and Abbey came over, climbed into my lap, and gave me 3 big bear hugs. She has never come close to me before, and I had to laugh as it really was amazing.

Don't limit God. This is a painful time, but seek after Him as He really does care for all of His kids.

I should add something. I have heard people say they just go to God. I think God supplies your needs through others, so it is important to not just seek Him, but be in fellowship with other people.

A friend of mine said I couldn't just sit around and wait for God to supply my needs. He said I had to get off my 'bottom' and meet God half way. He said that this morning.

Svt4Him - I so agree with you. Last year I felt God wanted me to be a friend to people. So I spent a lot of time being with people, just being there for them what every they needed. God brought to my mind the scripture where Jesus said if we did things for others it was as if we had done it unto God. It was really need think I was being God's friend as I was a friend to those around me. I started to notice quite a few people I meet were saying a lot of nice tings about me. It felt really good to get those compliments. Then the Spirit of God spoke to my hears and said that was Him speaking to me for He was glad I was being a friend. It had been years since I'd been so touched by God or was it the people I was a friend with! I guess it was both.
