Musings on Parenting
God – Always Was – the Eternal Self-Existing One. A Trinity. Never alone, Never lonely, needing, lacking nothing.
Yet, You created.
You created everything. There had been nothing but You.
The Universe – its laws, the stars, the planets, their moons – time and space, and matter.
Why? Why did You do it? For the same reason humans have children – to express, to manifest their love.
For all love comes from You.
But love implies care.
The good shepherd lays down his very life for his sheep.
He sees himself as the owner of the sheep, and He is ever watching over His flock. The wolf does not catch Him off-guard, unprepared – ever. He knows that the wolf is out there, and wants to feed on His sheep.
This is love.
It cannot be mustered up. It just flows from within the heart of shepherd. And it manifests as care.
John 10:11-13
