IN THE BEGINNIING...you were there

IN THE BEGINNING...

"I Was There..."

In the Beginning, Father God, when You gave birth to the Universe,

when You commanded, "Let there be light!"...

I was there in Your memory... 

Within Your Great Plan for the entire Universe...

"I was there!"

"Yes, I was there!"...

Running toward freedom, away from slavery and intense suffering...

crossing the Red Sea toward a a new land, 

a new beginning!

 "I was there!" 

Crossing the desert, complaining,   grumbling,

trying to fight those great giants coming at me.

"Yes, I was there. Did You hear me?"

Yes! You did answer!

Goliath was being slain!

I was there, Father, and  

It seemed like forever.

"Yes!"...and I heard Elijah, Jeremiah, Isaiah and Daniel.

I listened and believed, Father God.

"I was there!"

I knew You saved me too, by rebuilding me in Your Love.

Esther, also, was a role model of trust in You; 

 persevering with her Queenly attributes.

Yes, she taught me much more!

I was there watching... praying...

 weeping  for Your chosen people's freedom. 

"I  was there, Father!"

Jesus...You were born in a cold, dark, animal lair of a cave

amid a frightful, depraved human era.

Your Presence brought Light, Joy and Salvation to all humanity...

Your Light reached me, Father!

Yes! I was there when You came into my broken world

with Your Light, Your Way and Your Truth!

"I was there!"....

Hungry for Your Word;

Thirsty for the Living Waters...

Seeking healing...for past wounds, unknown.

"I was there...

and
 I knew
You were there, too!"
