Creator's Joy

Until the unthinkable happened.
You see everyone in the kingdom had a task.
From the lowest to the greatest.
And even the lowest was a job of honor.
No one looked down on their duties.
Serving such a great King and his Son was more than anyone could ever wish for.
And yet there was one servant that became ungrateful.

As a matter of fact he was the highest autority in all of the kingdom below the King himself and his Son Prince.
He was endowed with more beauty and privileges than anyone else.
Apart from Prince of course.
And yet it was this very fact that made him ungrateful.
You see the King had just given him a promotion.
A task more beautiful than anyone else’s.
With more subjects under his rule than all the others.
The King had entrusted him with this in full faith in his ability to perform it well.
He was to build a city with more splendor than anything else in the kingdom.
And that became his downfall.

Oh not the task itself.
He started out with great delight and diligence, thankful that such an honor was bestowed on him.
But then it happened.
Slowly, without realising it, he lost sight of the King and his Son that had so generously given him this great honor.
He forgot meeting them after each shift. To enjoy their company.
He was so enthralled with his task and the autority that accompanied it, after all he became the overseer of many, that he forgot who had given him this privilege.
Soon he started to have unthinkable thoughts.
Thoughts about a kingdom.
His very own!

Oh what a thrill that would be.
Or so he thought.
No one would be above him.
No King with his Son.
He would be the one on the throne.
Making all the decisions, but most of all, receiving all the praise.
Everyone would bow for him.
Yes, for HIM, the Lightbearer.
That was his name.
And he would tell the King and his Son Prince what to do instead of the other way around.
Oh he couldn’t wait for it to happen.
What a delight that would be.
If only he was God.

And that became his fall.
He started out so well.
The King had never witheld anything good from him.
Rather he had given him access to almost every place in the kingdom.
No beauty or privilege or gift was held back from Lightbearer.
He truly was a light that shone brightly among all the inhabitants.
A display of the generous kindness of the King and his Son Prince.
But how he would have loved to take their place.
So he decided to tell them frankly.

Why were they king, and he was not?
Now what could they answer?
The King’s heart broke for his beloved Lightbearer.
The one that brought the kingdom so much of his own joy and delight.
He was the leader on many celebrations.
Livening them up with the most exhilarating music.
Bringing everyone to dance.
Rejoicing in the goodness of the King and his Son.
But all that had come to an end.
His partying, meant to honor the King, became more and more about himself.
Showing of his extravagant beauty.
Beauty that had never been his own.
Rather it was bestowed on him.
Oh the King had not held anything back.
But…it still came all from him.

Lightbearer did not realise his source.
So focused on the gift, he was forgetting the giver.
His mind was blinded by his own pride.
He had neglected his relationship with them.
And because of that he started to forget.
Where it all came from.
His thoughts rising to places they should never go.
Imaging what it would be like.
To have more and more and more power.
Like he didn’t have enough.
He wanted to be King.

But don’t you see?
The King answered.
I gave it all to you.
Without me you would be nothing.
You surely would not be King.
I uphold the kingdom.
I uphold your very life.
The air you breathe sustains you.
You cannot be your own god.
(unless of course you are God)

But Lucifer did not listen.
Yes, that was his nickname.
Because he lightened everyting up.
But now he was not thinking straight.
Thinking he really could be God.
Of foolish Lucifer.
It broke the King’s heart.

No warning pierced through.
This wicked mind of his.
Now fully being developed into a true abyss.
So Lucifer made a plan.
Nothing could bring him from it.
He rallied all the servants, as many he could find.
He started talking to them.
Revealing what was on his mind.

Soon they were infected.
One third of all the kingdom.
They began to think the way he did.
Being blinded by pride.
Not seeing anymore, the King and his Son as their loving providers.
The ones that gave them life.
They put their gifts above them.
And now they wanted to be God.

So the King gave them power to prevail.
Kicking all rebels out.
To another part of his kingdom.
It was still a place of great beauty, they got to inhabit.
Yet it had much less glory, than where they had used to live.
Right next to the King and his Son Prince.

Oh they could still visit.
Appear before his throne.
He would still call for them.
For purposes of his own.
But their greatest privileges had been gone.
A glory that was only in the presence of the King and his Son.

Slowly their appearance began to change.
The shining of their face fading.
Their colors growing dim.
Grey slimy creatures they became.
Without the King’s presence all became dark without and within.

And so the kingdom of heaven had great loss.
Splendid creatures lost to a foolish cause.
A cause that would never succeed.
For how could a creature become it’s own God?

So the King and his Son mourned greatly.
But not for very long.
They were too resourceful, and happy with all that was left in the kingdom.
Those who were still enjoying their generous kindness towards them.
They made a plan that would even increase their joy.
That would make up for their loss many times over.

Thouroughly they talked it through.
Becoming more and more exited about their plan.
It would be splendid.
So much more glory would come of it to the most remoted part of the kingdom.
Even to the places Lucifer had now taken residence in.
He would be no match for “them”.

So what was this plan?
What did it look like?
Are you ready?
They made MAN!

Oh it was glorious.
Their joy had no end.
All the kingdom’s servants rejoiced with singing and dance.
They were so delighted with all the joy they would bring.
These newly made creatures.
They were truly something else.

Ah the apple of my eye, the King said with pride.
Son these are your brothers and sisters.
I’ll love them like I love you.
Truly made in our image.
Now our family is complete.
And we will continue to grow as we will enable them to procreate themselves.

Oh such joy and delight.
Son come dance with me.
You want to hold them?
And so Father and Son danced.
The King and his Son Prince.
From sheer delight.

Now before all this happiness happened,
Before they created man,
They said to themselves
We have to make a good back-up plan

If they are ever to fall,
The way Lightbearer did
We can’t leave them to themselves
In the darkness it will bring to their lives

We have to rescue them
And reconcile them to us
We have to provide a way for them to return
And change their mind.

We need to break through the darkness of their blinded thoughts
Revealing them that there’s still light
We need to show them the truth at all costs
They need to know that we are kind

And so they devised this plan
If these children where ever to rebel
They would not permanently throw them out of the garden
They had placed them in

This garden was a beautiful part of the kingdom
Especially designed for their specific needs
It had the most delicious fruit for them to eat their fill
Beautiful lakes to swim in
Breathtaking views of high mountain ranges
Filled with many other creatures for them to enjoy and take care of
All kinds of vegetation for them to tend to

But the greatest joy the garden contained was that at the end of every day
The King would walk with them
Hours they would spend
Listening to the King and his Son
Sharing the discoveries they made that day
And the King would just love on them
Thoroughly enjoying their excitement
Over all the surprises they came to find
Oh what joy it brought the King
To see his children delight in everything

Now in the middle of this garden stood two trees
Majestic
Spreading out their branches wide
With fruit as good as all the other ones
Desirable to eat

One of these trees was called the Tree of Life
If they would eat of it they would never die
The other was the Tree of Knowledge
Eating of it would lead to great darkness for men
Because it was not only knowledge of good it would bring
It was also the knowledge of darkness

So the King strictly forbade them to eat from it
Because it would hurt them tremendously
Only he was able
To bear the knowledge of such evil
It would utterly destroy them

So what was the King’s and his Son’s rescue plan
If they were to rebel
These glorious men?

They knew they took a risk
By giving them free will         
But how could they not?
What joy would it bring
If they were mere robots?
Doing everything by force and not by choice?

No that would never do
It would give them no pleasure at all
But oh if they willingly chose
To be in relationship with them
It would give them so much joy
So they took a chance

In full anticipation what they would do
If they would want their makers
The King and his Son
To be involved in their lives
If they would be willing
To put their trust in them
That would give them so much delight

Because then they could give them so many gifts
The greatest being to enclose themselves to them

Would they take it?

Now of course they knew very well what would happen
And yet they created the possibily that it wouldn’t
It seems above understanding
This foreknowledge of theirs

So they gave man a free will
One of their very own
And since love always hopes for the best
So did they
Fully putting their trust in them
Yet another of love’s features
We often fail to get
But not they
Being perfect

Oh how excited they were
But prudent as well
They knew very well they had an enemy
That Lucifer would try to meddle with their plan
And yet also him
They had given free will

Now Lucifer lived
In the place they had given to man
It was not the place he was supposed to reign
But like all rebels do
He did not obey the King’s commands
And so they were fully aware
He would come and force his way in

But the King had great faith in man
Knowing he had empowered them with great autority
The power to resist Lucifer
If he would come
Was fully given them
It was not out of negligence
They placed man were Lucifer had access
No rather it was all part of the plan
He had for man

If they would resist their enemy
He would truly know they had chosen their Maker
And submitted to their King
For obedience is no obedience at all
If there’s no opportunity to disobey
And love is not love
If it’s not a choice that’s freely made

So even the rebellious Lucifer was part of a purpose
To secure man
To give them a choice to make
Showing them they truly had a will of their own
For without more than one option
Free will was just a scam

And to give them a chance
To fully show their love and devotion
A chance to return
What they had given them
To respond to it in a fitting manner
That suited the great love bestowed on them
A chance to make this relationship voluntile
So it would be really worthwile
