radiant light (John 1:1-18 & Hebrews 1:1-4)




before light
was.
You burned with all
radiance
in perfect Life.
with
your Abba & the Most Holy Spirit.
Love.
so big it burst out
Light.
before light
was.

speaking
light was no big task
for the Radiant One.
except...
for Your Plan to
make
a people.
in Your Image.
made.
from dust
that had yet to
appear.

knowing
our rebellion.
how we would crush Your
Image
in us...
how deeply we would
grieve Your great
heart.
still
You made us.
from dust
that had yet to
appear.

but Light speaking out light
planned
to love over
the broken Image.
to mercify Your Self so
completely
that your heart
would sing
JOY.
with every one of us
who
could stand it.
one day.
coming soon.
unstoppable Love
unstoppable Life
unstoppable JOY.
forever.
