If God Made It, It's Interesting

This is an argument for well-roundedness. If God made it, the appropriate response is not the flip "I don't like it" or "I'm not big on it." But the response doesn't have to be "I like it" either. The most interesting questions are "What is God doing here?" "How can I appreciate it?" "How can this make me more human?"

If it's been warped and perverted by the devil the question might be, even as we turn away, "How can I redeem this?" "What can I learn from this?"

If God made us for this earth and this earth for us and us for him, we don't do ourselves any favors if we look at something He made and then died to redeem, and say "I think I'll be bored."
