Render: cause to be or become; make.

God is a creating God.
God is love and love must be expressed.

We humans are made in God's imagine.
We are created to be little creators.

God created this planet for us to enjoy and worship Him.

Yet God did and does not want us to simply exist but along with that He wants us to create.

God created this planet and yet within it He wants us to render other things.
I find that beautifully interesting.

God rendered us and He asks us to join in and the rendered is to render.

God created the wheat.
God created the grape.

Yet,

Jesus commands the last supper to be replicated not with wheat and grapes but with bread and wine.

Bread and wine don't grow from the ground. They must be created, rendered by our human hands.

We have a desire to restore the world to the way God intended it but to some degree God intended it to be populated and rendered by humans.

I don't believe that means creating and dumping pollution into the creation but I do believe it means inventing, crafting, shaping this world into something beautiful and something expressive of our hearts.

There is hope that the human heart is good.
There is hope for the planet that we will not work against it but instead with it in the worship and rendering of love towards God.

I love to idea of creating.
I love the intricate process of baking bread
I love the science to fermenting wine

How were these ideas thought up. How were they created?

God is such an awesome God. I love the heart of God.
To create, to express, to feel, to love, to be.

Creating is something beautiful that shouldn't be abused. Slavery is the abuse of creation.

There can be great joy in working the field all day or sewing a shirt but there can also be great pain under the pressure of oppression.

But there is always hope.
God is making everything beautiful in its time.
And so can we.

All Alright - Fun.
