God, love and wholly superfluous creatures….

" To be sovereign of the universe is no great matter to God…We myst keep always before our eyes that vision of Lady Julian's in which God carried in His hand a little object like a nut, and that nut was "all that is made". God, who needs nothing, loves into existence wholly superfluous creatures in order that He may love and perfect them"

C S Lewis, The Four Loves, ch. 6

Yes, and having loved such creatures into existence, God proves that they are not superfluous. Advent is the evidence.
