Building On God's Design

There's something I've been thinking about lately. We are the way God made us, and God doesn't make mistakes, so it could be said that we are the way we are supposed to be, so maybe we shouldn't change. Yet, change is nigh unavoidable, especially since growth of any kind requires change. So, perhaps God mad us the way we're supposed to be at the start, but He expects us to learn, grow, develop, and change over the course of our lives and beyond. If that's the case, then instead of being content to remain the way God made us, we should think about how God wants us to build on the foundation He gave us and perhaps even improve upon it.

Perhaps this is part of our Creation training. God took "matter unorganized" and shaped it into the world. Perhaps He expects us to take ourselves, the way we are now, and shape it into the best possible version of ourselves that we can imagine.

We are already God's ultimate creation, the ultimate life forms, but when we apply our creative efforts to the foundation He gave us, we can (with His guidance and assistance) make ourselves even better.
