Let There Be Light
by Nancy L. Meek
In the beginning, there was Love
as the hand of God parted the night
and He blew His breath, as with a kiss
And said, "Let there be Light!"
The Greatest Gift ever received
descended to Earth to live with man
to walk in their shoes...to feel their pain
to save the sinner from Satan's hand.
With His coming, He brought us love
and taught us the way we should live
His footsteps, a candle in the darkness,
Providing the Light only He can give.

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto Him,
"Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God:
For no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him."
Jesus answered and said unto him,
"Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
'Except a man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God.'"
Nicodemus saith unto him, "How can a man be born when he is old?
Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb and be born?"
Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
'Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee,
'Ye must be born again.'
The wind bloweth where it listeth,
and thou hearest the sound thereof,
but canst not tell whence it cometh,
and whither it goeth:
So is every one that is born of the Spirit."
Nicodemus answered and said unto Him, "How can these things be?"
Jesus answered and said unto him,
"Art thou a master of Israel,
and knowest not these things?
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
'We speak that we do know,
and testify that we have seen;
and ye receive not our witness.
If I had told you earthly things,
and ye believe not,
how shall ye believe,
if I tell you of heavenly things?
And no man hath ascended up to heaven,
but He that came down from heaven,
even the Son of man which is in heaven.
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
That whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish,
but have eternal life,
For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son,
That whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
For God sent not His Son into the world
to condemn the world;
but that the world through Him
might be saved.
He that believeth on Him is not condemned:
But he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name
of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation:
That Light is come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather than Light...
because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light,
lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that doeth Truth cometh to the light,
that his deeds may be made manifest,
that they are wrought in God.'"
--John 3:1-21

The Light Through the Window
By Nancy L. Meek
The muffled beating heart
The sound of pulsing blood
Send music through the ark
To the embryonic bud
In a sea of virgin warmth
Supernal and serene
The progeny of God
Becomes a human being
Cloistered within a pearl
Devoid of any cares
The angels standing guard
While providence prepares
A womb graced with a view...
The window to the world
And the will to survive
As limbs become uncurled
The spirit of God moves
Upon the face of the deep
And the angels bow their wings
As the babe begins to leap
With the walls closing in
And the well becoming dry
The angels wend the way
So a Miracle can fly!
In the beginning...
God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void;
And darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, "Let there be Light!"
And there was Light!
--Genesis 1:1-3
