the extremes

It's been said a lot that "When Jesus is all you have, Jesus is all you need."

Personally, I would say the other extreme is also true. 

When you have everything you could ever want, you realise Jesus is all you need. 

In my own life, it has been the case that when I have everything I wanted, God revealed that Jesus was so much better. Not to say that I'm not thankful for what He has given me. But that's exactly what the things we have are, a gift from Him, to use for Him. 

I was talking to a friend about a uni course I wanted and my anxieties I had about it after he said that it was the *crown emoji* compared to other things. This conversation occurred more than a year ago but it popped up into my mind the other day. What he said next was: Jesus is the real *crown emoji* and you got Him already. I remember back then, it was hard to accept. "Easier said than done," I had thought. Now that I got into what I wanted, I have to say that he was right. I've realised now that Jesus is the real *crown emoji*.
