Scripture says that God doesn't need you. Is this true?

Man enjoys leaning on this verse.

The fact of the matter is,

It is a fair insight for humility,

But it's pretty poor philosophy.

Preachers and prophets often expressed their lamentations about existence in their scribblings.

Not all words ought to be exalted, if you examine them critically.

Does God not need you?

How does that feel?

Often times, you can get a sense for truth, by how it feels when you hear it.

It doesn't sound very good, it doesn't sound very true, does it?

That's because it doesn't check out with your inner knower.

Something inside of you that knows and resonates with truth does not feel that this statement is quite right.

And so, you interpret this as pain.

That doesn't mean you're never wrong, or that the truth doesn't hurt, but this can give you discernment for what thoughts are not good.

Now, consider this, does the data suggest that God does not need you?

Absolutely not. Obviously not. It would be pure foolishness to believe that God does not need man to achieve his purposes.

Man is in fact the only vessel through which the Living and Loving God is able to extend his influence and purposes.

Don't agree? Did he send a donkey to preach to the world? Did he use some kind of magic? No, he sent a man.

He uses man. Man is the vessel through which he chose to insert Spirit, and through awakening man's spirit, God chose to show man His intentions, His will, His desires for this world.
