<\/p>

\"In Him there is no darkness.\" 1 John 1:5<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>

<\/p>

It makes sense that the very words that brought everything into existence, \u201cLet there be light!\u201d reflect this statement from 1 John.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

You could actually rephrase God's first command to be instead, \"Let there be Me!\"<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

This was almighty God pouring Himself into everything because He just loved it so much.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

Including you.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

Especially<\/span><\/em> you.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

You who were created in His very image as it says in Genesis 1:27, <\/span>\u201cGod spoke: \u2018Let us make human beings in our own image, make them reflecting our nature\u2019\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>

<\/p>

Nothing else in all of God\u2019s incredibly diverse and impossibly vast universe can say that it reflects God\u2019s very image.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

But you can.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

You were created <\/span>on purpose, with a purpose<\/span><\/em> - to have relationship with this almighty God, in whom there is no darkness.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

Only light and love.<\/span><\/p>
