I created this picture using a program new to me. So this is the first very basic image, my first creation of a "man". In case you wonder, the head is towards the sky, the highest part is an arm. Or should be.
Of course, God is almighty, but did he think on how to do this? I wondered while trying so hard and yet failing again and again. Would God love to try and find new forms and give them new names? Enjoying his creation, knowing it is perfect for what it is at that point?
Is that a very disrespectful train of thought? It is not to me, I assure you.
On the other hand this picture reminds me of the fall. When man fell, he didn't even know what falling was and when he found out, it was unpleasant, it was too late. Many good things get lost that way. Falling is a very nasty feeling. At least if there is no parachute to stop the fall. How many things we do, whose consequences we cannot understand, maybe until it is way too late?
And - another shocking thought - after God had created man, even though he knew all that would be, was it hard on him when man turned his back and said: I don't want you, I don't need you? That temptation is so typically mankind. So God created mankind.... Gen. 1:27
Do you think he ever regretted having done so? It cost him a high price. Do you ever regret something, whose consequences were a deep fall?
