Life that reveals our needs

John Fischer nails it again this week with a post “Living outside the town of perfection.”  He asks the perceptive question, “Are we willing to live with our needs showing?”  He then provides the following teaser,

“Does Christ’s sufficiency heal the wound, fill up the hole, answer all the questions, remove all doubt, cease every sin, relieve the pressure, or solve every problem? When we give our “testimony,” is the struggle, the disappointment, the depression, the hurt or the temptation always over?”

I know how I must answer these questions.  My needs ooze out out of cracks in this old pot regardless of how much I may try to hide them. How about you?  Is that okay?
