God has always existed in relationship with Himself. In the middle of the relationship between the Father, Son and Spirit, no need or lack ever existed. God, within Himself lacked nothing; there was no void in His heart since He is perfect in love and pleasure. It was out of this perfect wholeness that God created humanity – not to fill a void in Himself but to share His fullness with us. In Him there is no absence but only presence, no vacancy but only fullness. Therefore, we know that He did not create humanity out of His need but out of His desire. Think about that for a minute. God created you because He desired you. The only reason you exist is pleasure. It is the only reason you were made. He doesn’t need you to do anything for Him. Of everything that the Lord created, you are the one creature made to dig into the depths of the living God through relationship with Him.
