We fear neediness, becuase we fear pain. When we confront the hunger. We confront the pain of emptiness. There is no freedom without confrontation. Confrontation is reality. Confrontation is putting on the breaks to a run away train.
The 18 inches from our head to our heart is the journey from striving to helpless. We will never receive until we become desperate. Until we are helpless. Unable to help ourselves. As long as we help ourselves we are in our head. The heart is a needy place. When you locate your neediness, you will meet God in that space. He will occupy your needy spaces. Untill we know he is the only one who can fill us. We cant fill ourselves. Its us trying to fill ourselves that cuases us to push God out of deep places. Like a small child that wont let go. We hold on to our hearts. With a controlling grip. God will not pry your fingers off of your heart. He waits for us to come to the end of our selves where we place it in his hands.
