God creates. We construct. The difference is God brings something to life out of nothing. We simply take something God has already made and shape it according to our desires.
The Bible doesn’t tell us much about God before He created the heavens and the earth, but the story of creation and all that follows shows us that God’s primary motivation in creating is love. This love is far beyond what we might feel toward something we’ve constructed.
G.K. Chesterton once said -
"A thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed, but a thing created is loved before it exists."
