When I look at the character of GOD I see a being wanting connection with something outside himself.

Like Adam he needed something more. Where would Adam have gotten that need if GOD didn't know loneliness?

And all of US created to love Him and what do we do?

We walk away. We fear. We run amok.

It doesn't make Him less, but it shows that He knows how we feel in every situation.

Like THE ULTIMATE loving parent knowing we WILL eventually grow up, but seeing each age and stage for what it is and seeing us through it.
