A great deal of light falls on everything – Vincent van Gogh

The Beginning

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² Now the earth was formlessand empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

³ And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. ⁴ God saw that the light was good,and he separated the light from the darkness. ⁵ God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. (Genesis 1:1-4)
