God Doesn't Need Help!

It is in ignorance that struggle remains, because we are all really atheists. Real theists cannot work. 
We are atheists more or less. We do not see God or believe in Him. He is g-o-d to us, and nothing more. 
There are moments when we think He is near, but then we fall down again. … … 

The next time you see these silly phrases about the world and how we must all help God and do this or that for Him, remember this. Do not think such thoughts; they are too selfish. All the work you do is subjective, is done for your own benefit. God has not fallen into a ditch for you and me to help Him out by building a hospital or something of that sort. 

He allows you to work. He allows you to exercise your muscles in this great gymnasium, not in order to help Him but that you may help yourself. 
Do you think even an ant will die for want of your help? 
Most arrant blasphemy!
