What price leadership? Is God ever lonely at the top?

Answer 1

Lonely? I can see you don't know any scripture........

Answer 2

I sometimes make the mistake of thinking Jah thinks in terms of humans.
In fact I use to think that Jehovah created creation so as not to be lonely.
I have since come to understand that being created is truly a gift.
I imagine Jah thought "Existing is so cool I want to share this with somebody!"
It's like when you hear a great song or taste a really good dish you want to share it with friends. Well, think of that feeling amplified about a trillion times trillion!
Remember, humans were created perfect.
All our first ancestors had to do was not eat from the tree.
(One more example!)
Let's say some benefactor decided they really like you.
So they set you up in a mansion, give you an endless bank account and everything your heart desires. Wouldn't you want to show your appreciation for such a gift? But what can you give a person that has given you everything you've ever wanted?
Knowing your need to show your thankfulness for all that has been given you your benefactor said "Just enjoy and take care of all this stuff and don't watch "American Idol".
But a so called friend comes by and tells you that the benefactor knows that if you watch 'American Idol' you'll figure out how they got so rich and you could create your own riches.
So, do you tune into the FOX network?
Surprisingly some would.
Two did.

Answer 3

He has a host of angels and billions of followers here on Earth singing his praises and speaking to him all the time. Lonely? Not for a second.

Answer 4

Note..God created all of us. He announces He is the Bridegroom and that believers in Him are the Bride.

It is not about sex. it is about learning what matters all the time.

Answer 5

No, the Bible says God need nothing,

(Acts 17:24-25) "God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; {25} Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;"

Rather, God is ultimately completely benevolent, and His command to love Him above all else, is for our benefit. Whatever is your ultimate source of security or object of affection and devotion is your god, and created things will ultimately fail us, and in so doing we are hurting ourselves, and others (indirectly), and are guilty of idolatry. And to die in that condition means you could not even enjoy Heaven, but must spend eternity in a place just the opposite. . Only the Creator can promise and perform, " I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Heb 13:5).

A mother may require her child to hold her hand in a large city, not because she feels she needs her love, but because she knows what is best for her child.

God is constantly giving, and has given us both good things and good laws, but we have broken His good laws and misused His good things, thereby incurring His just punishment. But which led to God giving the most costly gift He could give, someone uncreated, His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ! Who, though He was uniquely one with the Father, possessed the same uncreated essential Divine nature as God*, "thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross" , (Phil 2:6-8).

"Who loved me, and gave himself for me" (Gal. 2:20), dying for our sins and rising again, so that all who choose Him over sin, and receive Him as their Lord and Savior, can receive eternal life! That is giving.

What you do with Jesus reveals what you truly love, and where you will spend eternity. Choose Jesus - Choose Life!
