How many times have you heard someone say something along the lines of "You complete me!" or "You made my world whole!". How many times have you also gone "Aww that's so sweet!" while thinking at the back of your mind "You're joking right? How corny can you get!"
Well as the title says, I want to tell you something that may shock some of you.
"You Complete God's World"
(yes let it sink in)
You want proof? Alright let's see how we completed God's world from the bible, and what better place to start than at the story of creation (some of you may already see what I'm getting at ;D)! If you have a bible with you (or even if you don't just google an online bible), have a look at whole first chapter of the book of Genesis.
Stage by stage, creation after creation, God would always comment on what has been made and many bibles translate His comment as "good". God looked at the sky and it was good, He made the mountains and it was good, He made plants and animals and he said that they were all good. And finally God created human beings, His most prized creation of all and said that it was very good, right? Wrong. Have a look at what at what verse 31 actually says:
"And God saw everything that he had made and that it was very good. There was evening, then morning—the sixth day."
Did you catch that? God didn't see humans and said they were very good. He saw EVERYTHING he made, every single thing in existence TOGETHER with his most recent creation (humans) and then he said it was VERY GOOD! All the beautiful things in this world - the sky, the mountains, the oceans, animals and plants; all those were only "good" until God created us.
You and I, we completed God's world (literally!). Compared to all of creation, even the most marvelous natural beauty, God loves you and I and the most. After all, we are the ones He died for to save. Not the deep blue seas or the lush tropical forests. He died for you, because you completed His world.
GOD LOVES YOU.
