July 4, 2010: Just Say It – Karla Crabb

The best stories are the ones where someone had a need and another person was used to meet that need. It gives hope, especially for those in need.  This is the continual story that we read about in 42-47. There is however, one essential piece in this story that we often overlook.

That is this: For a need to be met it has to be known. So often people have complained about not having their needs met, yet when asked several have spoken about never naming their needs. Perhaps this comes from not wanting to be a person who has needs … but what kind of person is that? We need to possess the humility to share our needs – emotional, spiritual, and physical – with those we journey with.
