Needed by God

I don't know why, but it seems to me that people like to be needed. We like to feel that we have some sort of purpose and that we're not just doing things for the sake of doing them. In that light, it occurred to me that God needs me. He needs you. He needs His family to do things on this Earth. Now I realize that God doesn't need anything and in fact, Philippians asserts that God will meet all our needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. But how awesome is the thought that God needs us to be bold, to be courageous, to be helpful, and to be willing to do His will whenever he calls? He leads us down a specific path, gives us a specific situation, and sends specific people to us because He needs us to hack through the brush, He needs us to learn a certain lesson, or He needs us to encourage His people and those who are not part of His family yet. I dunno, but this just changes a lot of perspective for me. I'm yet again getting worried and concerned about the usual stuff and some not usual stuff, but whether or not the "important" or desired things get done or happens, God needed me to do the things that has happened. He needed me to be there for the people I talked to. He needed me to learn lessons of humility, friendship, and faith despite the expectations I had. Anyway, this may not make sense at all to anyone, but heh, at least it makes sense to me. :)
