Everybody needs

Based on over 30 years of psychological counseling and pastoral care, Howard Clinebell believes that humans have seven spiritual hungers in common:

-All people need to experience regularly the healing and empowerment of love – from others, self, and an ultimate source/God.

-Everyone needs to experience renewing times of transcendence – moments that expand us beyond the immediate sensory spheres.

-Everybody needs vital beliefs that give some sense of meaning and hope the midst of losses, tragedies, and failures.

-Every person needs to have values, priorities, and life commitments – usually centered in issues of justice, integrity, and love – that guide us in personally and socially responsible living.

-Each human being needs to discover and develop their inner wisdom, creativity and love of their unique transpersonal/spiritual self.

-All people need a deepening awareness of oneness with other people and with the natural world, the wonderful web of all living things.

-Every human being needs spiritual resources to help heal the painful wounds of grief, guilt, resentment, unforgiveness, self-rejection, and shame. We also need spiritual resources to deepen our experiences of trust, self-esteem, hope, joy and love of life.

Clinebell feels that everybody must pay attention to these needs to feel whole and fulfilled, making spirituality central to human well-being.

John 10:10 sums it all up:
"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."

Jesus can meet your every need. Why not ask Him and simply believe.
