God loves His Creation. He designed us this way for His purposes. Not because of us but because of Him. He sees in us what He decided from the beginning. Not all holy ones liked this idea, so Psalm 82 tells us He judged them and has decided we will reign in their place for "thus you will die like men". We are His Imagers. We portray who He is (well that is the idea). As an Imager (verb really) we should be displaying His Righteousness in the world. He actually LIKES us!! Amen, He did create mankind for Himself......so true brother....we exist for Him, not the other way around. (Some gospels and religions unfortunately are man-centred.) But there did come a time when He regretted creating man, as it were, because hearts were waxing so evil and wicked....and is why He sent the flood. He loves us always, because God is love and He is true to His own nature always, but really there's not much to like about hearts that are so "deceitfully wicked who can know it". Our fallen nature is not very likeable.....nevertheless, thankfully God loves in spite of it, and is why He sent Jesus to atone for us and rescue us from ourselves (and the devil). Worshiping and looking outside ourselves to the one true living God is one way we are being rescued from ourselves.....what a blessing to be able to leave our old fallen self behind in the dust, as we grow higher in the Lord, in the upward call. That's right neustra Hermana del norte . What a joy to know and serve the LORD . Oh let it inspire the beginning of a praise fest to the Lord . And in all that we do or say let us honor the LORD .
