Let There Be Light

The nature of God in the creation story isn’t God dominating and forcing the world into a certain mold. It is: "Let There Be Light"
Let there be is permission giving power. It’s such a fascinating phrase “Let there be: land, sea, crawling creatures;  let there be fish, let there be humans.” 

It’s a giving rather than a domination. As human beings we are made in the image of God, and God says, “You can have dominion,” and we should employ this with the same kind of gentle presence of "let there" rather than a controlling, exploiting presence. It’s not let there be exploitation - It's let there be light. Infusing. Birthing. Very different. A Sunday Thought...#pkes #MinM
