Genesis 1:1-4; John 1:4-5
In Genesis 1 we read that at the very beginning of creation, the very first things that God speaks into existence is light.
Genesis 1:1-4 (NLT)
In Isaiah 60, Revelation 21 & 22 we are told that there will be no day and no night in heaven because the glory of God will light everything.
John 1:4-5 (NLT)
In a recent study the Northwestern University Feinberg school of Medicine, while experimenting with different modes of in vitro fertilization, researchers discovered that at the inception of life, there is flash of light that could be seen through the electron microscopes.
Every day we are discovering how light can be used for communication, powering computers, and now other devices.
The Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi,
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope, Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
