Looking from Heaven

He’s struck with pain. 

Pain caused by the child who left. 

Who was cast out.

Who betrayed him.

Who betrayed heaven.

How can He begin to recover from the pain that he caused?

A thought flickers through His mind. 

Maybe...

Maybe He could create something new. 

Something beautiful. 

Something that could help Him to heal. 

Something that wouldn’t betray Him. 

Like he had. 

So, He took a moment and started to create. 

First, He made the world, a beautiful world. 

Flowers graced every corner of this earth,

Daffodils, Sunflowers, Lillies, Roses.

Trees blooming and growing into delicious fruits,

Apples, Pears, Figs, Bananas.

Animals started to roam the world,

Dogs, Cats, Bears, Bees. 

He sat among the animals and the flowers and the trees. 

He admired the beauty that He had created. 

The light caressed His face as He sat content. 

He felt Himself start to heal. 

But then shadows started to loom overhead. 

Something...

Something was missing. 

These animals and flowers and trees, they had started to heal Him.

But they weren’t enough. 

He still felt pain despite the comfort they provided. 

With a determined look, He set out to create one last thing. 

Something that would offer one last piece to the puzzle. 

A little life. A little love.

Taking a deep breath, He created something else. 

Someone who looked like Him 

And spoke like Him

And could think like Him.

Think like Him but not betray Him like he had. 

And so man was made and then woman followed. 

Why? 

Because just as He needed someone to love, man did as well. 

And thus was the creation of mankind and the world.
