The Gift of Light
Genesis 1:3-5
What is this gift of LIGHT that God created for us? Light is warmth, light is energy, light is what gives life its form and dimension. Without light we experience only the cold, emptiness of dark. Even for someone who has no sight, light offers its warmth and energy. It is essential in the process we call life.
Light also represents knowledge and creativity. God is my source of knowledge. God is my source of creativity. He created the light - the ability to see and understand, the desire to look and explore.
I think it's significant that He divided the day (the unit of measure for life) with light. We measure of lives by this amazing gift: warmth, energy, knowledge, creativity.
In what ways does the creation of light affect my relationship with God? This gift of enrichment shows me how much He cares about me and you. It is a multi-dimensional gift: physical, psychological, intellectual, spiritual, creative. It encompasses so many different aspects of my life, from the spectacular sunset, the warmth of summer, the soft light of an overcast day enriching the beauty of a child's face, the feeling of peace at dusk, the ability to capture life in lights and shadows on paper, to the light of His presence in my life. These are all gifts of great value and insight. How do you respond to Someone who has given you the gift of light? For me, with the realization of just how much that Someone knows me and cares about me.
