The irony is that while God doesn't need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don't really want Him most of the time. He treasures us and anticipates our departure from this earth to be with Him-and we wonder, indifferently, how much we have to do for Him to get by. Francis Chan
About This Quote

The irony of all ironies is that God doesn't need us but that He still wants us. If it was not for our existence then He would not need to be so concerned about our well being. The irony of God wanting us is that we don't want Him most of the time. We have created many problems for ourselves by ignoring the world around us.

We continue to ignore our surroundings even when we are walking or driving, which is ironic because there are so many things around us that could help us see the truth. Instead, we are more concerned about what will happen to us after death.
