And So You Created the Creation Story

"I just don't understand God, I've read Genesis a million times but I still don't understand why when everything about you was perfect, you decided to make us, who you knew would screw you over. So here's my question God, why did you create the creation story?"

"It's very simple my darling, on the first day I sat from my heavenly throne above and thought of what could be. I sat there in my place of perfect, and I wished that upon another world, so I created the night. The night was beautiful my dear, however, light was needed to show my affection, consider it a reminder of my love, and so I then poured a little bit of my glory onto the night creating day. I saw the beginning of something great, and I smiled; it was good. Now the next day came dear, and I saw a need for diversity, thus I am diversity, the life, the truth, and the way, any who I formed the seas and separated it from what I declared the sky. Both were beautiful and blue, the color of my eyes as I was born Jesus. I stopped to observe its beauty; my beauty; the second day. On the third day, I realized a need for a place of living, see my dear I had plans for you before you came into existence; now yes the seas and the skies were bound to meet at the place of earth I called land. Land was a beautiful thing my darling, and I knew it was good. The land was beautiful, but when the many flowers and trees birthing the sources for food and shelter it became even more so. You see, everything has its place and grows so specific to its kind, as do the fruits need water to thrive, you can only be pure to your kind by my word, pure to my image. Surely, the fourth day came and I saw the need to emphasize the difference of the days, see dear, I'm all-knowing but without a great light in the daytime and a gentle glow at night your kind would not have known how to tell apart the times or the seasons. To accommodate the gentle light of the night I played dancing bodies of stars along the rim to provide you pleasure. No matter the situation there will always be light in the darkest of times my dear, I will never leave you nor forsake you. And so the stars came and went and the fifth day was at my hand, truly I had made a wonderful sight, yet it would be a sin for no one to enjoy my gifts. I breathed birds into existence and creatures of the seas, I blessed them all and watched as they moved across the great vasts, forming among themselves according to their kind, my dear I have such great compassion for the animals and yet so much greater a love for you. The creatures of land and sea were wonderfully made, yet on the sixth day I decided to make more, so that these creatures might not be dismayed. I made animals of the land, beautiful in their differences and brought together by their similarities, they formed among themselves according to their kind and I once again saw they were good. And this my favorite creation began, I made man in my image, even though I knew man was to stray from it. Man and female to not fall lonely and to help each other grow, I blessed them and saw that they would multiply. I gave them reign over every other living thing and the world I had created I blessed them with these gifts so they could get a mere glimpse of how much I love them and how much I long for them to glorify me. I saw my work was good, and on the seventh day I found it complete, thus creating a day of rest and holiness; the Sabbath. My darling, I didn't create you or this earth because I needed you, I created you because I knew you were to need me; I made you in my image so you could grow to love me and honor me, and someday come join me in heaven where you'll finally understand all my beauty and mystery. My dear, you will find your heart strung all over the praises and challenges of this life, yet come to me with your prayers, thoughts, and questions, and I will see to it that you will thrive. I show my control of the land, the seas, and the many creatures, you just need to know throughout your life I'm in control as well.
