The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Genesis 1:1-5, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and

the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.

3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.

4 God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.

5 God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and

there was morning, one day.”

“Light has value far beyond allowing unseen objects visibility. Light “shapes” bodies and minds, structures time, and serves as a central metaphor for truth, goodness, and God in philosophy and Christianity.”

The LORD God is our Creator and Preserver. He preserves what He creates; thus, when we turn from sin and accept Him as LORD and Savior of our lives, He is our LORD and Savior forever!

Further, “light,” as has been emphasized above, is therefore more than physical. It is the perceptible light, the understanding, that allows what we call “intelligence” to exist within us. It is always to be grasped and retained for our benefit! It clearly brightens and tightens our grip on those factors that would otherwise never be truly, fully understood.

In the nighttime, when light is absent, we live with the belief that we are protected from whatever exists beyond our ability to see; thus, we can know of our LORD’s ever-present watch-care over all that lies within us – and for that, we can ever be thankful.

Heartily in Christ,
