Creation

---

The creation story in scripture is a beautiful story of how God made the world/universe. The creation of human beings (Adam/Eve) is similarly beautiful. But I believe it fails to fully give us an appreciation of what God intended. What follows is my view of that piece of creation.

When God viewed all He had created and saw it was good, He also saw that it lacked an intimate connection with Him. So, he took a lump of earth and molded it into pieces. 

He then took a piece of himself and inserted it into each earthen vessel. He said, “This, is your soul, it is the part of me that resides in you. It is the part that lets you recognize me, honor me, and always be connected to me. I expect you to use it!”

Then He took another piece of Himself and put it into each lump of earth. He said: “ This is your heart. It is the part of you that reflects my Love and allows you to return that Love to me as well as to love each other as well as the creation I have given you. I expect you to use it!”

Then God took another piece of Himself and put it in the earthen vessels and said: “This is your brain. It is the part of you that helps you seek and find my will for you, that helps you determine good from evil and helps you grow in wisdom and to grow and maintain the creation I have given you as your dominion. I expect you to use it!”

And thus, God completed his creation with the addition of the two earthen vessels to whom He had given responsibility, authority, and accountability.
