Genesis: In The Beginning, God
Author: Martha Kilpatrick
Author: Martha Kilpatrick
God is the beginning of all. What He does not begin, ends at its beginnings. From the fountain of His boundless imagination flow the inventings of our finest ideas. We are merely cups of varying levels of receptivity. Some narrow, some wide. What we begin, drawing out of the cauldron of human depravity and calling it God's plan, will find no support from Him . . . and no Brilliance of His Glorious Mind. He must begin whatever is begun. He initiates. We respond. He proclaims. We hear. He gives. We receive. He imagines . . . we are simply the clay of His inventive molding.

In the beginning . . . God . . .
Genesis 1:1
God is the beginning of all.
What He does not begin, ends at its beginnings.
From the fountain of His boundless imagination
flow the inventings of our finest ideas.
We are merely cups of
varying levels of receptivity.
Some narrow, some wide.
"Nothing in my life that has value to the Beloved
have I begun . . .
or ever dreamed.
It came to find me."
All that is fruitful and valuable is only that
which God originated
eons before we stumble on it.
What He has for each person, is already begun
and lies in concealed completion
waiting for discovery-by-obedience.
God must begin.
He is the Everlasting Beginner.
