God and the world have a reciprocal relationship.

 

"What is done in the world is transformed into a reality in heaven, and the reality in heaven passes back into the world.  By reason of this reciprocal relation, the love in the world passes into the love in heaven, and floods back into the world."

Alfred North Whitehead
