@Henrietta :

I understand what you are saying, and I whole heartily agree with you…

What that quote meant to me, and the point that I was trying to get across is that He doesn’t NEED us, but He allows things to come into our lives to show us how much we need Him and then He uses those things and chooses us to accomplish His will. I realize that He doesnt need us to accomplish His will, but it is His desire to use those who are faithful to share His grace, mercy and power to the world through our circumstances.

With that being said, by no means does God need me, yet I am in awe that He is using me.

I understand totally that I/we need Christ

But you say He needs us?

I don’t agree. He is utterly perfect without us or anyone on this planet.

He is God overall, blessed forever more.

We NEED Him; He may condescend to accept us.

But HE doesn’t need us. He is perfectly glorious in holiness with or without us.

Continuing to pray for you, and SO thankful for your clear MRI. Praise God! What an answer to prayer. Thank you for faithfully declaring the love of God here, and for being so honest as you walk the path God has set before you. Every time I come here, my faith is encouraged and strengthened and re-focused. I hope you know the deep impact you have had on so many people “out here”.

And thank you for the link on a recent post to “At The Cross”. It is a song that has greatly blessed me, and I’d forgotten the name so I couldn’t look it up! Rich in God’s truth, I can really hang onto it. Thank you for posting these links. They are a means of grace to me during my days!

Really, really like the new header. Hope – love that word and what it means to me, as well! Again, thanks for sharing another wonderful song. I understand that speck of dust feeling. Man, sometimes I am just sooo overwhelmed at who He is and who I am (nothing!) but yet He cares enough to cradle us in His peace and comfort when we need it, when we crave it. Sometimes I have felt such an overwhelming urge, no need, to know Him more. To touch Him, almost. When I put down the “self” and look only to Him do I feel that connection and craving. I think it’s also in that moment of selflessness that I am the most teachable and can be used and carved by Him. If only it were so easy to walk that way daily. I’m trying.

I have wondered this myself over the past year and have found that when I am at my absolute lowest point, curled up and sobbing…God will use someone to tangibly show me He cares about my emotions along with everything else. People who had no idea what was going on but people who were being obedient to Him. He is an amazing God who has his on eye on the many specks on the beach ball….I, who have felt that very same thing, being one of them.

Thanks for sharing your heart!

Dear Sweet Heather,
Yes I noticed. I noticed your new header as soon as I landed here this morning. I love it!
I feel like I don’t need to ask you anymore “how you know”. I had been faithfully following your blog and praying for you. I know God is working in you and your life in a deeper way that none of us can understand. I will not fully understand God’s workings in you as much as you won’t on mine. God deals with us uniquely, because He knows us by name and we have a personal relationship with Him. This “revelation” or “lesson” that came to my mind just as I am typing this is a comfort to me. God loves me and deals with me in a very personal way, despite the fact that there are more than 13 billion people around the world. May you find comfort in that as well.

Thanks for the post.

I struggle with this a lot, the feeling of being overlooked and forgotten. Usually because I’m chasing after things that don’t satisfy like only He can.
