In the beginning
God created “something” from nothingness;
gave shape to what was formless.
Said, “let there be light” and so spoke light into the darkness.
He scooped down into the dust of the earth from the ground, and made life from nonexistence.
And, even when life fell, pursued life with “first love” perseverance,
a passionate persistence.
His
Love,
loves with a brilliance
like none other.
He’s a Father to the fatherless with a faithfulness not one can fathom;
a presence, even when un-felt, is never absent
ever giving definition to a grace that is ever-lasting.
His name is matchless.
In the beginning.
In the beginning,
Father God, Holy Spirit, the Incarnate Son
who is, and was, and is to come.
Sin-less for the sin-full ones.
An ever promise of redemption, ever providence of compassion
outside of time extending over all eternity
with, outstretched arms exemplifying the embrace of divinity toward humanity.
Perfect in strength; bearing all sovereignty,
yet choosing humility.
Intentionally. On purpose.
Intimately involved with His people but with purpose.
There’s, a, greater story.
Your life, but for His glory
to fill all the earth for all our days.
There is but one way.
He is the Life, the Way, the Truth…
In the beginning.
In the beginning
was the Word.
God-ordained and God-breathed.
Useful for correcting, rebuking and to teach.
Dividing goats from sheep,
Alive and active
sharper than any two-edged sword,
piercing
as far as the division of Spirit and soul.
Spilling into every sphere of life, for the life-bereaved
saying to those in need, “while I may be found, search for me,”
“with all your heart, soul, strength and mind love me
be a sweet perfume and a light for all the world to see
devote your whole self to finding me
to find you.”
Because,
In the beginning.
In the beginning,
was the Word.
And the Word was with God.
And the Word was God
and the Word is with you
in you
and within you.
Fighting to the end for you,
And goes before you
triumphantly surrounds you
victoriously secures you
upholds you
Surely His goodness and mercy shall follow you
all, the days, of your life.
So,
For all, the days, of your life
Have in view that He has called you,
–and by name, so He won’t forget you,
–and to this space, so He won’t forsake you;
He will bless you and keep you,
make His face to shine upon you.
Because, in the beginning, He first loved you.
And is in love with you.
And,
spoke a word, that whether you know it or not to this place, ultimately lead you
So, in Christ name, may this Word and these words dwell richly in you
all the way through to the end,
from this beginning…
Because,
In the beginning.
