"God still awaits a being that can love as God loves"
We, humanity, are not yet fulfilling our potential.
Out of the swamp of nothing things came together
coalesced and solidified into gases, liquids, objects;
things that we could recognise today,
and millennia passed.
From all that mix came new forms of nature
Complex groups that moved as one driven by some common purpose
and millennia passed,
A purpose grew, developed, consolidated
into competition, survival, conquest. overcoming its environment
and millennia passed;
And competition generated new forms
that moved and fought and grew and learnt to think and reason
as millennia passed;
And moral purpose grew to constrain
the greed of competitiveness and we learnt to love
as millennia passed;
And loving awareness came to man
to show our latest goal of growth, the hope for humanity
when millennia have passed;
And maybe there is a God that still awaits a being that truly love
to evolve from Creation, over those millenia and more.
Yet, Christian theology centres on our needs rather than of any God's.
"We" are central to creation; God merely the creator.
We have crafted our ideas of divinity to suit our need,
but surely there is a greater truth, something beyond the veil,
a reality beyond our understanding.
For all hope is surely not realised in creation as it is;
in the instability, pain, suffering and uncertainty of the world today.
For faith, all hope, lies in the concept
that there is a future, that we may call God's Kingdom,
of light, warmth and kindness, hope and human love
after millenia have passed
