You don't need me . . . but you love me anyway

That is, God doesn't need me. Nor does he need you, for that matter. Yet I'm compelled to serve him. I am tempted to question why he would choose me for the work to which I'm called. Then I'm reminded that he is the kind of God who works for those who wait on him, that he is not served by human hands as though he needed anything. So he must have some other reason for calling me. It's surely not because he needs what I have to offer . . .

Getting started

Why the title? It's inspired by three people, kind of. Paul said that God was not the kind of God who could be served by human hands, as though he needed anything. Isaiah asked who had ever heard of a God like this, who works for those who wait for him. Ironic. A God who calls us to serve him, then works for us.

Then my friend Derek wrote the song. You don't need me, but you love me anyway. Thanks Derek for a great song. I repeat it a lot.
