He told us once that our God is the only one who doesn't "need" us. Earlier religious tales would talk about gods who needed their people...all kinds of crazy things like how they had to "eat" children so they could continue existing. Do you remember that? It's been a long time, sorry this isn't Hillsdale clear. Our God just loves us because, He doesn't expect us to work for him. If we do, that's wonderful. But it's not an expectation. <br /><br />It's a good reminder for me when I get all emotional and think "I've been such a bad Christian, there's no way God is watching out for me now." He's always there, regardless of what you did yesterday or last week or today. <br /><br />Anyways, just what your post reminded me of =) Happy Friday!<br /><br />Autumn @ The Unreal Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10620178433601921586noreply@blogger.com
