Nothing

 "There’s a children’s Bible that I love (The Jesus Storybook Bible) that puts it so simply: 

'All Naaman needed was nothing. It was the one thing Naaman didn’t have.'

I was trying to please God and please people by doing, by having it all together. But all we need is the understanding that we don’t and can’t have it all together…that all our attempts at being good and perfect will fail. That’s why we need Jesus’ blood from the cross, the perfect sacrifice to pay for our sins."
