| 0:14.0 | It's the Patrick Madrid Show on relevant radio. |
| 0:18.0 | Hello and welcome to the Patrick Madrid Show. Here's the number. Give me a call. We have lines open. 888-914-9-49. 888-914-9-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9. I have an email that came in from Tom. I want to share his email, and I'll offer some thoughts on it. Tom listens in Sacramento on 1620 a.m. |
| 0:40.3 | First of all, Tom, thanks for writing to me. Tom says, hi, Patrick, this week, and this is going back into last fall. |
| 0:47.4 | I told you before, I've got a mountain of emails. I'm trying to get through them. And literally thousands of them. |
| 0:53.4 | So please thank you for your patience, |
| 0:55.7 | and this is Tom's note from back in, what is it, November of last year. He says, I got a, I got a |
| 1:03.1 | chance to hear a part of one of your shows. There I heard you say something familiar, but something |
| 1:08.7 | about it struck me as puzzling or off. |

| 1:16.4 | It strikes me that those statements are contradictory. |
| 1:19.2 | If there is no need of humans, then creating us as a waste of time. |
| 1:23.2 | God being perfect is incapable of wasting time. |
| 1:25.9 | He put that in quote marks. |
| 1:27.4 | Or anything else, every hair on our head, the sparrow, you know what I time. He put that in quote marks or anything else. |
| 1:28.4 | Every hair on our head, the sparrow, you know what I mean. He's referring there to Jesus saying that, look at the sparrows and how God provides for them, and aren't you worth more than many sparrows? So, too, God will provide for you. That's what he's alluding to. He says, now, we are in the image and likeness of God, |
| 1:46.0 | so is our need for God part of that? He needs us, just as we need to be loved by someone other than |
| 1:53.0 | ourselves. Maybe God's love needs someone other than himself, with whom to be in love, giving and |
| 1:58.4 | receiving it. Love we know from experience includes passionate desire for the presence of the beloved. |
| 2:05.5 | It makes more sense to me to say God's personality needs us, and we need him. |
