Our God is a creating God. He created a physical universe that is exactly what we need. He is a very giving, loving God and charges us nothing for all He has given us. We are given all we need to survive as well as eternal opportunities. God is a perfect fit for us but what fit is man to God's purpose for creating us? Is it a one-way relationship or are we also becoming a good fit for why He made us?
