God has existed for all of time, and it's always been in relationship. The trinity is hard for us to wrap our minds around, but we know that God has always been leaning into one another. When God created, the other two members of the Trinity were present. God has always existed in relationship, and so if God didn't have humanity, God would still have relationships.
And yet, when God created, humans were invited into that relationship.
What an incredible privilege. Here is God, holy and perfect and transcendent. Here are we... not those things.
And yet God invites us into the relationship.
When God decides to start over, God maintains the relationship with us. God sustains humanity. Not all of it. Not most of it, unfortunately, but God sustains us for relationship, for that's what we're made for, and God has a vision of what the future will look like, and we're in that.
You are a child of this covenant, the one that survived through the ark. God sustained humanity so we could continue to be part of the relationship, and when all appeared lost with humanity, God sustained us in relationship through Jesus Christ.
Thanks be to God!
