As many mystics
and saints throughout history have said, God created because God needed
something to love. And then, to take this one step further, God created humans
so that we could love God back freely. Robots cannot love. Now
parallel this to your relationship with your own children. Your fondest desire,
maybe at an unconscious level, when you conceived a child was to bring forth a
love object. “I want to love this child in every way I can, and even have the
desire that this child will love me in return. And the way I love them becomes
their empowerment to love me back.”
Apply all this
to God. I think this is why the reproductive process is given to us in this
sequential way, so that we can experience the reciprocal character of love. God
is creating an object of love that God can totally give Himself to, so that
eventually we will be capable of freely loving Him back in the same way. Humans
are like two-way mirrors, receiving and reflecting.
