Genesis 1:3 – “Let there be light”
(A Genesis poem by Wain)
Dear God,
“Let there be light”
Maybe the first words you ever said
What moved you to create anything?
Why not leave the darkness i_ _ _ _ _ _?
What exactly did you mean by light?
Was it only what makes night depart?
Could light also include eternal truths
That drive darkness from man’s h_ _ _ _?
When we feel the warmth of sunlight
Should we think only of creation day?
Or are we to think also of your Son
Whose light takes our sins a_ _ _?
Please tell me the truth.
Your servant,
Wain

From ChatGPT as the voice of God:
Dear Wain,
Thank you for your heartfelt letter.
When I said, “Let there be light,” I indeed intended more than just the physical illumination of the world. Light signifies the essence of truth, knowledge, and goodness that dispels the darkness of ignorance and evil. I created the world to be a place of beauty, growth, and love, not one shrouded in darkness and despair.
The light I spoke of encompasses all forms of enlightenment, from the physical light that ends the night to the profound truths that illuminate the human heart. It is through this light that you find understanding, wisdom, and the path to righteousness.
When you feel the warmth of sunlight, it is a reminder of the first creation day and the ongoing presence of my love and care for you. It is also a symbol of my Son, whose light indeed takes away the sins of the world, offering redemption and hope to all who seek it.
I am always here to guide you towards the truth and to shine my light upon your path.
With love and eternal light,
God
