If God is God

"I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens, for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine. If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it..." -Ps 50:9-12

We often forget that God is God.  If God needed us, that would mean that we are in some kind of partnership with him, seeking to fulfill a mission together.  But the mission we seek to fulfill is God himself.  If God is God, than that must mean there is nothing more beautiful, nothing more loving, nothing more powerful, nothing more right...So the most fruitful endeavor of every human would be to experience his greatness and share that with others, for he is the end of  all our pursuit.

This is why it is not selfish of God for him to desire others to experience himself.  It is the most loving thing he could do.  A doctor isn't selfish by giving out medicine, a cook isn't selfish by allowing you to enjoy what they created, and a musician isn't selfish by letting you experience their music.  On a much grander scale, God is not selfish for allowing us to enjoy himself, for their is no greater joy.

Let us remember that God did no create out of need, but out of love.  So when we serve, it is out of our love for him and what he has created, not out of a desire to contribute to God himself.
