What a wonderful world we're living in. Full of beauty and wonder. Oh the beauty of God's creation! It's something to behold isn't it? It's awesome. When I sit and really think about God's creation, well, it's breathtaking sometimes. (I can't believe I just said that word, awesome. Those evangelists from across the pond have a lot to answer for!) Did you know that man is the glory of God's creation? That's right. Man and woman are the crown and glory of God's creation. What a privilege! What a wonderful thing to be made in God's glorious image. To have the ability to choose our way of living. To be able to dream. To be able to be inspired. To be able to hope for something better. To be able to see into the future and know deep down that we were born for greater things. To have the ability to hope for, and strive for the best. When God made Adam and Eve, everything was perfect. God said it was good. But we all know what happened. Man threw away life and chose death instead. They were banished from the garden of Eden and forced to reap the bitter fruit of their sin. How God's heart must have been grieved. When I read about the fall of man in the bible, I feel so sad. It almost makes me want to jump into the Bible and give Eve a good talking to, or failing that, cook up some crisp and herby barbecue chicken and rice, with garden salad and spicy corn on the cob for them, anything to get them to leave that fruit from THAT tree alone! Only problem with that is, meat hadn't been invented yet, not for food anyway.
