God has been longing for people to be in relationship with all things of cre ation and with Him. Hence, God has been working to pull fallen people up from the servant’s position, through the adopted son’s position and children’s position to the parents’ position. This was in order to sever the painful connec tion with the Fall and enable all things, people, and God to form unifying rela tionships so that God’s joy becomes humankind’s joy and humankind’s joy becomes the joy of all things. God want ed to take pride in His sons and daugh ters and present and dedicate them to the natural world and even to the world of angels.
