Creation

Weighing in a bit late here, but weighing in nevertheless.

I've always thought that before the creation of the earth God must've been lonely. I know there was a reason for our creation, and I know why we're here. I don't think He created us just as something to occupy His time (which He has an eternity of) or merely to have us eternally praise Him.

I think He wanted someone to love. And since He *is* love, He created us to share in that. What could be better? We were his dream before the earth was created (p. 20). He gave us life, yes. But the most important thing He gave us was love.

And He saw that it was good.
