Before God spoke into the world
It was a vast darkness
A void space
Empty and lifeless
Then, He started to create.
His amazing masterpiece
Painting a beautiful world
Filling it with stunning design
When it was done, He sat back and rested
He knew his creation was good
But that wasn’t enough
He knew it was meant to be shared
Together
So, he created us.
In his image
The image of his creativity
Each of us fashioned in our own unique individual design
His fingerprints all over us.
And here we are.
Sometimes the world around us is a dark place
Like the void before the beginning
But there is hope
We are hope
We paint the bright colors of hope and life
We share our stories of redemption and grace
We are the light that shines in a spectacular display
We don’t just live in his stunning creation
We are his stunning creation
We are active tools
Infused by our creator
To share his creative love
We won’t sit on the outside
Admiring the beauty around us
Looking in through a glass darkly
We will be the beauty that others see
Face to Face
Drawing them to their creator
