"皮肉なことに、神は私たちを必要としていなくても私たちを望んでいますが、私たちは神を切実に必要としていながらほとんどの場合、本当に神を望んでいません。"
— Francis Chan
Simplified Meaning:
This quote says that God, being all-powerful, doesn't need anything from us but still loves and cares about us deeply. On the other hand, we humans need God to help us and guide us in our lives, but often we don't seek Him out or include Him in our daily actions. For example, think about how we sometimes ignore good advice from our parents or teachers even though we know they want the best for us. In the same way, people often ignore their need for a higher power, even though relying on that spiritual connection could greatly improve their lives. Applying this to our lives means we should recognize our need for a deeper relationship with God and make an effort to seek Him out, as this can provide us with wisdom, comfort, and strength.
