All You Can Possibly Need or Desire

Child of God, all that you can possibly need or desire is treasured up in Christ!

You have . . .

no cross that Christ cannot bear,

no sorrow that Christ cannot alleviate,
no corruption that Christ cannot subdue,
no guilt that Christ cannot remove,
no sin that Christ cannot pardon,
no need that Christ cannot supply!

Lift up your heads, you who are poor, needy and discouraged! Lift up your heads, and rejoice that Christ is ALL you need in this valley of tears--All you will need in the deepest sorrow--All you need under the heaviest affliction--All you need in sickness--All you will need in the hour of death--All you will need in the day of judgment.

Indeed, Christ is IN ALL too.

He is in all your salvation.
He is in all your mercies
He is in all your trials.
He is in all your consolations.
He is in all your afflictions.

What more can you want or desire? A Father who loves you as the apple of His eye and a full Savior to whom you can go moment by moment!

"Therefore let us approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find
grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:16

- Octavius Winslow
