Our nurturing Creator

 

What do these two pictures have in common?

A caring parent who provides the environment for deeply instilled happiness. God is not visible as our caring parent, but He has left us abundant surroundings that warm our hearts and subconsiously bring us health of mind. As David said, "Thou art He that took me out of the womb: Thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts." (Psa 22:9). And, "Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!" (Psa 107:8).

 

Our Creator gives us what we need for mental and spiritual health as we can appreciate and appropriate it. In stages He expands our faculty of faith, until we are like Adam in Eden, filled with all the fullness of God.

 

"But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD." (Num 14:21).
