God the Creator. Makes amazing things! Things that live and breathe and move! Easy beyond what we can create!!! He has fashioned a universe that reaches far further than our limited Hubble gaze! And within what we can see, each piece is crafted with infinite beauty, right down to its molecular structure - and again, beyond our microscopic view. Every time we think we've discovered it's limits, a new dimension is found!
And crowning his creations here on earth, he made us! Thinking, creating, self-healing, loving expressions of himself!! How awesome are we when you think about it??!!!! And like any creator, he fashioned it all within a paradigm of how it would all function best. Done his way, all things would work together for good.
But being the God of goodness and love that he is, he refused to be a God of control. He gave us a gift - the gift of free will. He wanted us to stay within his paradigm so that all things would stay good! He wanted us to always love him and live in his love. But forced love is no love at all. So he let us choose.
And we chose badly. And we still choose badly. We chose selfishness over love - and that came with a despotic ruler. He watched us fight. He watched us flounder. He watched as we suffered under this ruler. And his heart ached for us. So much so that he sent his precious son to try to bring us back to him.
Jesus lived God's love on earth. He healed and held and loved and led. And then he died, a beautiful and terrible gift - paying the ransom this earthly ruler demanded, to give us the way back home to our Father's arms. But it was all for nothing if we don't take it. What will you do with it?
