I painted the stars on the canvas of the night sky. See how they sparkle with such clarity, like rare and perfect cut diamonds. I did that just for you. I even made connect the dot pictures to spark your imagination. You call them constellations. I gave you the moon to dream on and light your way through the dark.

I placed the sun in the center of your universe to give you warmth. I stretched the range of its blaze to the perfect length and set the temperature with precision. I made its radiant light to dazzle with my brilliance.

I positioned the earth on its axis and spun it like a top. I centered its orbit on the perfect rotational path that would allow it to sustain life, your life. It too would give you the variety of the seasons. I wanted you to appreciate them all and enjoy the cycle I created. To understand that things do change.

I poured out from the well of Heaven soothing waters in the form of oceans, seas, streams, rivers and lakes. I stocked them with life. Immerse yourself in their regenerative force. Wade out deep and swim in my love.

I picked you, out of all my artistry and before I set time into motion, to be mine. I spared no expense. I held nothing back. I formed you to my likeness and breathed into you my essence. I took my time and fashioned you with great care. You are as unique as a snowflake, no two alike.

I pronounced from the very foundation of all I constructed, produced, and established that you alone were my most valuable treasure, my prized possession. You are worth more than all the stars in the vast reaches of the heavens. You are my pride and my joy.

Stand and behold all the works of my hand.
