Smile Does God need your love? Why or why not?

Thank you, this needed it's own thread from a post
on another of a different subject.

There are those that do not see "God" as separate, so I expect no posts from them - why would there be? This topic would seem silly to them perhaps.

But for those that see God as inside and outside of themselves; a Superior Power
that is maintaining billions
of galaxies in this 3rd Dimension and others on the Astral planes; a Being we are part of and is experiencing through us
- does He/It/She need our love? Want our love?
Why?
Or why not...

I expect we will have:
Those that have personally experienced the answer.
Those that have experienced nothing of the sort and will be intellectual about it...
Those that will quote from various sources and poetry...
And those that will simply muse and sincerely ponder out loud.
Oh, and those that will want to define "God and love" and also "need".


All are welcome.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

What a silly post! I like it. I don't think God wants to be separated from his creations anymore than they want to be separated from Him.

O my gosh, it occurs to me as I am writing this, this could be going down into a pretty deep rabbit hole. I love it.

I choose to be one to want to define 'need', lol...

What does it mean to 'need' love? Do humans 'need' love? Or do we just Want it (sometimes really really badly)?

We need to realise the love we are then we always experience it. That's my feeling anyway.

I have no idea what God needs.

I assume there must be some Godly motivation for whatever God does, and the universe is here, so...

Take your best guess.

Greetings..

If we are to believe in a "God', the 'God' i have seen described in these forums and in the bible appears to need to understand its own existence.. what other motivation would there be, Love? What 'love' is there that creates conditions for suffering, for its own creations to suffer? the 'Love' seems to have been in the freedom for its creation to explore its own existence, even if its creations choose their own suffering.. 'Love' is not the suffering, it is the freedom to choose it.. Love is not a 'purpose' created, or lesson to be learned, Love is the freedom to choose those experiences..

Be well..
