Creation - God’s creation already perfect

Love, intelligence, perfection, vain repetitions

Description:

“Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask Him.”

Text Content:

2: 23- 3:3 ~ God is Love. Can we ask Him to be more? God is intelligence. Can we inform the infinite Mind of anything He does not already comprehend? Do we expect to change perfection? Shall we plead for more at the open fount, which is pouring forth more than we accept? The unspoken desire does bring us nearer the source of all existence and blessedness. 
     Asking God to be God is a vain repetition. God is "the same yesterday, and to-day, and forever;" and He who is immutably right will do right without being reminded of His province. The wisdom of man is not sufficient to warrant him in advising God.
