“Before the mountains
were born
or you brought forth the whole world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are
God.”
Psalm 90:2
Make no mistake about
it, God doesn’t need you!
I didn’t say God
doesn’t love you.
I didn’t say God didn’t
create you.
I didn’t even say
that God doesn’t have a purpose for your life.
He does indeed love
you very much.
He did create you and
yes, He does have a purpose for your life and for mine.
But we make a serious
mistake when we think that there was some void in God’s being that only could
be filled by man.
God chose to create
us that He might lavish His love and His goodness on us.
He is not incomplete
without us though.
As the scripture declares,
from everlasting to everlasting He is God.
That means that God in
all His splendor, holiness and perfection, was God long before He first
breathed life into the dust to create Adam.
God is far and above
His creation.
He is seen in His
creation but, He is infinitely greater than those things He has created.
Some may take all that
I have said above as an indication of diminished worth for us.
On the contrary, He
values us so highly that He has made us co-heirs with Christ.
That is not something
we deserved, earned or are in any way entitled to.
It is out of His
great love for us.
God doesn’t need me
(or you) to validate His existence but I am eternally grateful that He created
me and fills my life with purpose.
Have you thanked Him
for that today?
