Let There Be Light

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.Genesis 1:3

These words of God are the foundation on which all else rests. It is from his light that all else comes, as we see in the symbol of the sun. But God’s light is different from sunlight. God’s light is the light of the Spirit. God also needs to say to us human beings, “Let there be light!”—light in our hearts, in our spirits! Let there be light: on such a foundation everything can grow and flourish.
The most important thing for us is that God kindles his glow in our hearts. Then we are ready to be enlightened by his Spirit and can recognize his clarity, the essence of God, so that even in times of distress or in the midst of every kind of evil, we can see God’s face, bright and clear.
