Creation Care as a Way of Life

A Journey of Faith and Stewardship:

Dr. Yousaf Riaz’s Call to Care for Creation

I believe understanding and learning about the vast web of Creation and the Creator offers one of the most profound experiences of life. It invites us to see the world not merely as a collection of resources, but as a living expression of God’s wisdom, beauty, and discipline. Within this intricate system, humanity has been entrusted with a sacred responsibility — to care for God’s remarkably ordered and self-sustaining design.

I found there is real joy in accepting this divine trust — in recognizing that while we are shaped by natural laws and rhythms, we are also endowed with free will. This freedom allows us to consciously follow and fulfill the Lord’s will, maintaining harmony with the rest of Creation and proving ourselves worthy of the trust placed in us.

It is beyond words to describe the wonder of living and learning within the greatness of the Lord’s handiwork — a masterpiece so perfectly balanced and intricately connected. God, in His infinite wisdom, handed over this creation to humanity not as owners, but as caretakers and co-workers, to live in harmony with all creatures and preserve the judicial balance of life on Earth. To live with this understanding is to experience worship in its truest form — a life that honors the Creator by caring for His Creation.
