Let There Be...

Day One: GENESIS 1:1 - 5:32

Although this doesnt seem like I have read a whole lot. I decided to keep the first one simple, For the begining of the Bible is the begining of time, and with this comes a lot of thought.

Id like to think that God created the heavens and the earth out of loneliness. All God wanted to do is love. Yet he had nothing to love. So he made land. Animals. and then he made People.

I love the verse "God called the light "day", and the darkness he called "night. And there was evening, and there was morning - the first day." 1:5

For some reason when I look at the sun, I feel a strong connection with God. No matter how bad or inconsistent things get, the Sun always comes up, and goes down just the same. I often look at it as the only consistent thing in my life. Sometimes when looking at it. I become so overwhelmed, at the thought that maybe God created the sun just for me. (If you saw my skin complection you would know that is far from true). I know the sun wasnt created for me alone. But this has helped me realize that everyone connects with God in their own way. Everyone had an individual, intimate relationship with God, all on their own.

Adam and Eve. Someone once told me that they thought God was a tad bit harsh on Adam and Eve, implying that Eve was created, so why would he create her with these natural flaws. Thats because if God wanted a robot, he could love that robot. But that robot could not love God back. God gave us free will, so we could fall in love with him.

As far as him being harsh goes. Imagine how much it hurts us when someone we love betrays us, or does something they promised not to. Its Heartbreaking. But think about if you had created an entire world of all things good to give to these people that you loved, and they couldnt even skip on the fruit? It makes me sad for God. How bad it mustve hurt him.

So far so good...
