Love and Creativity that Know No Bound

I remember listening to Tim Keller. He compares a garden that continually thrives and not decay unlike what we have today sicken with entropy because of Sin. 

Which one would you want to be in? 

I want to be in the former and that is going to be true. So, what it means is that we shouldn't close in, into ourselves. 

Positively, it perhaps means two things, we should continue to thrive in our (1) relationships with people and secondly, we should thrive in our (2) God given creative mind. 

The former means giving ourselves more and more to others for their good (aka Love) having given ourselves to God, the latter means for a start to have a growth mind set (aka Don't say I don't Know but say I want to master complexity) then by and by we are approximating the creative mind that God has given us to multiply and subdue the earth.

And when at the regeneration of the Son of man comes, we will have the real one - both love and creativity of God albeit no longer in the Garden but the City.
