John 1:1-5

”In the beginning the Living Expression was already there. And the Living Expression was with God, yet fully God. They were together—face-to-face, in the very beginning. And through his creative inspiration this Living Expression made all things, for nothing has existence apart from him! A fountain of life was in him, for his life is light for all humanity. And this Light never fails to shine through darkness— Light that darkness could not overcome!“

It can be so easy sometimes to be baited and tricked into a place of despair or a feeling of loneliness and isolation. That may be a symptom of watching too much news, dwelling too much on the past or looking at our problems and allowing them to be bigger in our eyes than our God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth and all that is in it. This scripture is a great reminder of the spiritual reality. It speaks to reality of the Presence of God the Father and Jesus. It speaks to the community and connectedness they shared from the beginning. It reminds us that God’s very essence is creativity, light and life and love and His desire to be in connection with us. This is the kind of scripture that will push out those dark moments and allow us to regain our perspective and move forward in boldness and in confidence that there’s nothing in our life that is new to the Lord and there’s nothing that His light cannot heal or repair or change.
