Unseen and seen

"
Because of the impact that sin's residue has left on this planet and in the hearts of men, we don't live in a perfect world. Anyone whose looking can see this fact obviously. Yet all of us enjoy the outdoors, the beauty of mountains, flowers, rivers, or the soft skin of a brand new baby, because a natural world speaks of our invisible God's goodness. Many people just live for this natural world to gratify natural inclinations, always living on a surface level. By living only for the things you see and touch and taste with your senses, no matter how great you claim it has been, ultimately your life will never be fully lived. We are not natural beings having a spiritual experience. We are very spiritual beings, first made and created in the image of the unseen God and yet we're having a natural experience. Hebrews 11 "The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It's our handle on what we can't see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd. By faith, we see the world called into existence by God's word, what we see created by what we don't see." Craziest thing about this world is that He made it all for our enjoyment. Through our joy in His creation, He receives joy and glory. But His greatest joy is when we enter into a living, viable relationship with Him. This is His greatest joy and our greatest purpose in life.
