Paragraph formatting is mine:
God is not needy; we are.
God is not dependent on us, but we are helpless without him.
God determines the future, and therefore we can be confident that his suffering for us in Jesus Christ will yield the promised fruit: everlasting peace in a world where suffering is no more and God will be all in all.
Michael Horton, A Place for Weakness: Preparing Yourself for Suffering, p. 68.
