Verse Thoughts - Revelation 3:17

“For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.”
- ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:17

The importance of realizing how desperate we are and totally dependent on Jesus, how we are truly “poor in spirit” as the Beautitudes says, which means “destitute of self,” or in essence, realizing our own spiritual bankruptcy, our helplessness and weakness on our own, and our desperate need for Jesus and His transforming grace every single day, every single moments of our lives. Dear Lord, please help us to depend on You entirely, and at all times in life no matter the circumstance, no matter the mundane day or the grievous trial. Please draw us closer to you and hold us tightly, fill our hearts with Your love and a passionate love for You in return. Please help us Jesus.
