To never need anything???

I wonder what it would be like to never need anything. To have unlimited resources. To never need to eat, or drink, or need money or even a car or anything at all. Imagine what it would be like to never have need of anything in your life or to have never needed anything. I have been thinking about this a lot recently. I don't even think my human mind can imagine or think about what that would be. You see, I've always needed things and I'll always have needs.

The reason I was thinking about this is I have been confronted with the fact that the God of the universe has never needed anything. He's never needed friends, food, water, he's never needed sleep. The God that I serve has never needed anything. This is mind blowing to me!

My life is defined by need. I eat and I sleep because I need these things. I think that this is a really good picture of what we are like most of the time. I think the most astounding part of it all is that this God who has no needs would choose to associate with us needy people or delight in giving us what we need. That He who has never known need would look on our needs with compassion and not disdain that he would even consider giving us what we need. Wow.

What do you think, what blows your mind about God?
