During a recent conversation I was having with a friend we started to talk about our most important or powerful life experiences. His was when his daughters were born, merely being in the presence of a life coming into this world. I think it would be a safe bet to assume that many parents would echo his reply. What is it about it that is so powerful? I'm sure for some it is a bond between the two partners. For others perhaps a looking forward to continuing a name or family tradition. Having not yet experienced it, its hard for me to say for certain. Interestingly the term birth is used not only to describe the completion of a pregnancy, but also to the beginning of natural phenomenoms; particularly ones that are impressive in complexity or scope. Sometimes religious experts and scientists speculate about the "birth" of the world.
I am a Christian and as such believe in the creation story described in the book of Genesis. How did God feel when he "birthed" the world? How does that affect us? God is often referred to as "God the Father." The scpriptures also speak of us as God's "children." No matter how we grow up, we can't maintain the same type of relationship with our parents as when we were infants. As you have grown from a child into an adult how has your relationship changed with your parents or parental figures? What implications does that have in your relaionship with God the father?
