God Doesn’t NEED You

Sheesh, arrogant, much?

It had been too long since Scott and I had sat and enjoyed the only two episodes of the animated Hellboy series, so we popped in the BluRay the other night. And it got us to discussing the nature of God, Himself, because what else could casually watching a Hellboy cartoon lead to?

It’s a classic tale of a narcissistic sociopath making blood sacrifices to ye emo gods of death and darkness so they can get their mitts on that magical eyeliner or whatever. And we realized something for the first time.

Which got us to thinking about how nice it is to serve a God who only ever required animal sacrifices, and then sacrificed His own blood so we didn’t have to do all that anymore.

Which ultimately got us to thinking about how God is so self-sufficient, He doesn’t need anything. Not to survive, not to increase power, not to make work wonders — none of it.

God just kind of… Is. Regardless of who acknowledges it or not.
