I have heard a few times on how God doesn’t need us.  This type of preaching is false.  God doesn’t need my strength, my intellect and especially my sense of humor.  God needs me and everyone around me.

It is like when one sees for the first time after being born, your son, your daughter, your nephew or your niece.  You see that person made in your image (that is from your own geneticmakeup) move his little hands, his little feet and listen to that huge voice coming out of such a small mouth.

Something happens to you when you see this.   A year ago that baby was only a concept or an idea.  You did not need him or her at that time.  Now that you see that bundle of love you need that baby more than life itself.  You would even sacrifice your life for that baby.

This is how God needs us.  Out of his love God sacrificed his life for us so that we may live.  This is an incredible reality.
