Virtually Unexpected ?

Impassable Obstacle ?

Can man without the powerful help of God see that he and all other selves enable a kind of self- love that see the miracle of creation, the recognition  that all creatures as glorious  and excellent  things ?

Modelling ?

A new kind of self- love-- a form and gratitude  for all selves,  including their own,when they really learned to love their neighbours  as themselves they will be allowed to love themselves as their neighbours.

The Creator ?

Wants man to stop thinking that they created themselves, to learn that their talents were given them, that their ensuing development were afforded by Him to them. That their subsequent successes were not their own. That their internal and external gifts, skills and experiences were all granted to them by divine decree, not at all self made or engineered. 

Conclusion to be reached.?

That really nothing is man- made, all is given by Grace of the Eternal Sovereign of the cosmos. Yet loved unconditionally forever. The sooner man realises his life is sheer dependence on the will, power and mercy of the Creator God, then the sooner He shall be pleased.
