God’s Children
(Genesis 2)
Far above all that he had made before.
Far outweighing all that he had imagined before.
After all
his creating and making and bringing into existence.
God saved his most precious idea until last.
Even
right back there, in the beginning of beginnings,
God
thought of
you.
God looked at all he had thought of, and spoken of, and given
life to and saw that
it was all extraordinary.
And then he
looked at you and I, amongst it all, amongst
the billions of wild animals
and amongst
the trillions
of intricate flowers,
and
between the forests
and forests of trees,
and
through the hurtling of
birds and the colliding of waves and the marching of insects,
and saw
that
we were incomparable.
And God loved us,
and we
loved him,
because
he loved us.
And he
gave us everything else that he had made because he loved us and wanted us to
have the very best he could give – which, as we will discover, happens to be
the very best you can get.
Yes, in
the beginning, it was a very good beginning indeed.
The very
best beginning that had ever begun.
But that
was just the beginning.
