“God...made the world and all things therein...Neither is worshipped with men’s hands as though he needed anything…”~ Acts 17:24-25
The above text was preached by Paul on Mars Hill. What a humbling truth—God doesn’t need us; for the simple fact He needs nothing! But, though He does not need us, still He wants us.
My children, when they were very small, would bring me inexpensive gift tokens, such as a wildflower or a piece of candy. Did I need them? No. Did I want them? Yes! They would kiss me good-bye when I went to work. Did I need it....did I want it?
Our Almighty God does not need our frailties, but, as our loving Heavenly Father, He wants our affections. “We are his offspring.” No father ever existed that wanted the love of His children more than our Father God wants ours. He does not need our attention and affection today; but He wants them.
When it comes to God, every day should be “Fathers Day.”
