I think I found a brand new understand of God's creation of heaven and the earth.
If you've driven through the country side, highway in BC, you come to realize that everywhere you look are tree, and more trees, and even more trees. Now we often overlook the repeated and quickly classify it as the mundane.
But think about it this way. Look for a random tree a distant away.
God created that tree
It might look like the one next to it
but of course in some strange way it is different from the one next to it.
No human hand may ever touch it
No human eye may ever pay notice to it
But for some reason God created this specific tree within the forest of millions.
Every ring within the stump
Every line, hole, bark, leaf, branch...everything to the finest detail.
"Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we."
-G.K. Chesterton
