Re: Wonderful insight as to what it's all about!
Maybe the word "choses" would be more fitting, than the word "needs" concerning God's will coming to pass thru the working of His body of believers. He choses to use his church, but He could use "stones or donkeys", I suppose. And concerning Him needing us, if it is considered a "need" of His....how many billion times has He been let down by His body? That in mind, I dont really see Him as "needing" us like he is dependent on us, but rather, simply desiring to work thru us.
