“A Father's Love”

Does God need us?  If He has everything already, why does He need us?

Sincerely,
Feeling Frivolous

Dear Feeling Frivolous,

God doesn’t need us, but He wants us.  God loves us without regard to our necessity.  Like parents with their children, God loves us even though we are technically more of a burden than a help.  Children are messy, expensive, and time-consuming… yet, good parents love them unconditionally.  God is our Father (Heb 12:9).  We love because He first loved us (1 Jn 4:19).  It isn’t that God needs us; it is His unselfish desire for us to have life and spend eternity with Him.
