What God Doesn't Need

Me.


God doesn’t need my talents. God doesn’t need my gifts. God doesn’t need my preaching. God doesn’t need my strengths, abilities, skills, personality or looks.

God doesn’t need me.


And yet, God loves me, and calls me, and chooses me. Not because of me, but because of His great love.

That should be enough to keep me humble and striving to live every moment for Him. That should be enough for me to serve Him unswervingly forever.


" For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." (Ephesians 3:14-19, ESV)
