From Nature to Creation #1

Page 6 of Wirzba's book talks about who we are as human beings.  Our identity is something we change all the time, even so much as people putting identities on like they do clothes.  People want to find meaning in what they do and so they try and fit in with what they want.  They try and look the part and always acting like it instead of doing it.  Wirzba brings up the example of athletics and how if you are in a gym wearing athletic gear, there is an identity around you saying that you are an athlete (Wirzba, p. 10).  Our markers for us and God can be seen through his creation but aren't specifically stated in the trees, for example, because we have been separated from this perfect being.  However, if our eyes are opened through viewing the world through the lens of Jesus, we are able to see His love and creation with faithful eyes and hopeful hearts.  This doom and gloom of yearning for another identity is dirt that can be wiped clean.  How wonderful is our Creator who has given us this choice?
