God is Love, my Lover

Hahax, to celebrate my own birthday, I pondered on this day from 20 years ago: Why was I made?

God the creator has made all his creatures and he made them well. When he made men, he wanted to have a relationship with them. He made us so we could glorify and know him. Interesting to note that he made us in his own image too (Gen 1:27)--that is to have a mind to think, a heart to feel and a will to decide right and wrong.

I was made so I could have a personal relationship with him. To glorify him and know him. I am made in his image. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Most importantly, man was made to be spiritually needy people. Needing spiritual guidance and also having the need for love. This complements well with how and why God creates us... Because God is Love, therefore our need for love equates our need for God.

Simple equation made perfect since the beginning of time. I need love, thus I need God.
