And God said, “Let there be…”
--Genesis 1:3 Within the mist that rose above the sea, The Spirit hovered over what would be; The chaos taking form in every phrase Of "Let there be..." to make and order days; But long before the earth was formless, void, God was at work with other words employed To call, to choose two people as his own, Into whose hearts His own Word would be sown So deeply they would be as one to will And live and move and have their beings stilled By that same God who called them very good On their first day when all was as it should. So they would take a vow for all their life To be Imago Dei, man and wife. And though their world is wracked and wrecked by sin, He made a promise: "I will come again!" I love you, Wife, and as we wait and groan Within our Spirits, we are not alone: We bear the Love of Christ, for it is He, The Image of our God, who visibly Has come to take the chaos we endure From sin and world and Satan, making sure That we in ordered Heaven will be free As He continues speaking, "Let there be..."
