Does God Regret Making YOU?

The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.  The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.  Genesis 6:5-6

We've heard and we know that God loves us, but we don't often hear that He may regret making us.  It's happened before.  You know the story:  The Flood and Noah's Ark.

I can't think of anything worse than God looking at me and wishing He had never made me!

Can you?

Is there any disappointment, displeasure, or anger worse than God's?

So how do we avoid this hell on earth, this state where our Maker wishes He hadn't made us?

Faith.

By faith, we please God instead of deeply troubling his heart, as it is written in scripture:
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."  Hebrews 11:6

Not only can we please God by faith, but He actually remakes us by this same faith!  Instead of Him regretting that He ever made us, wishing us dead ultimately, He recreates us and gives us eternal life!  A never ending intimate connection to Him!

Noah "found favor with God" by his faith!  This means that God regretted making every one on earth EXCEPT NOAH (and his family vicariously!)

Is there anything better than this?  Is there anything thing better than our Creator being glad He created us?!

If your complete trust and confidence is in God, and in Jesus Christ His Son, you are perfectly pleasing to God our Creator, who is glad that He decided to make you!
