"We measure the worth of a treasure
by what we will gladly give up in order to have it."
~ John Piper


"Why did God create things the way He did, knowing what we'd turn into?"
~ Wendy Paine Miller


This could also be asked as, "Why did God put both Himself and us through all this grief?" Behind the above question, might we even infer The Question:

"Why does a good God allow suffering?"

An answer to that was offered in the post "Why Suffering?" So let's take another angle and answer, "Can we understand what motivates God?"


The remainder of my answer appears at Bullets & Butterflies.
