It is one of the basic truths about Jesus Christ that we must understand. He does not need you! It is only He who can change anybody. It's really simple. He is God and not you. What are the wider implications of this statement? God does not need you in Japan, Africa, China, India or in any other place to talk to anyone because that work is done by Him because in the end He receives the glory and not you. In fact, God says that after everyone dies they will stand in front of Him without any excuse. His name in the Old Testament is El Shaddai which means self-sufficient. Therefore, He doesn't need you.
But may I suggest that He wants to use you on a path that he prepared for you. On this path you hold his hand while He does the work through you. You are just a vessel and He gives you the gifts to do what needs to be done. In the body, if you are a nose just smell, if you are an eye just see, if you are a hand be a hand, if you are a leg be a leg. In the body of the church fulfill your ministry in Christ.
How do you do that? Abide in His love and in that relationship which is what you actually need as a Human Being. Let Him tell you where to go and what to do as a Father who loves you. When it is time He will send you to do the work. And he will be with you all of the way!
