"G.K Chesterton suggests that at present we pursue variety because we're so easily wearied. What if a man's 'life and joy were so gigantic that he never tired ' of routine?
Perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning 'Do it again' to the sun; and every evening 'Do it again' to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but he has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we. The repetition of Nature may not be a mere recurrence; it may be a theatrical encore.
We grow so easily bored with life. We are weary with sin-induced futility. But God is never bored by life. He is life. His joy and life are so gigantic that he never tires of sunrises and daisies ; of beauty and life and joy."
