"In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God."
John 1:1
As I take this walk with Jesus from Incarnation to
Ascension, I see that this story of Jesus starts before the Incarnation, even
before the creation itself! For Jesus is the Word, the original thought of God,
the perfect expression of Him, existing before creation, before time itself!
What was God doing before creation and time? I imagine what that was
like, that ‘time’ outside time and that ‘space’ outside space, where all just
IS, where God is and is I AM, present tense…the God who IS! And I think of how
God is Love, love defines Him, He is the definition of love..pure love, infinite
love, love with no shadows or dark sides…love with no harsh element..love with
nothing withheld, a love that is completely transparent, self-giving, open…And I
think of how God is there before creation in a circle of fellowship and love,
all the members of the Trinity loving and sharing with each other. And I imagine
God thinking of creating beings to share in this love circle, this happy
fellowship, and I realize that I am on His mind! When He was in fellowship in
that loving Tri-union, I was on His mind..When He was thinking of beings to
share love with, I was on His mind..When He was thinking of creating the
universe and tangible realm as a gift to them, an environment where His love
could be shared and between those beings – us! – and Himself, I was on His
mind…When He went ahead and chose and loved us, I was on His mind…When He called
us by His own family name, called us His children, I was on His mind…When He
knew He would do anything for us, these children of His, even to the point of
Jesus’ giving up all for us to rescue us from the trap and ruin of living in a
false identity, I was on His mind…When He planned for us to rule with Him, I was
on His mind..on His mind, in His heart, and actually existing in Him in that
eternal, Spirit realm! Already there in loving union with Him in the eternal
heavenly realms! Wow!
Back in the time before time, the space outside
space, where everything just IS, where God is I AM, I was there, hidden in
Christ, snuggled into my Daddy’s arms! This place is a place of total innocence,
where I have never seen what right or wrong is, where I have never been hurt and
never will be, where I have never had an evil thought and never will, where
there is no battle, no striving, and of course no separation from this Father
who is Love..in this place all needs are satisfied and I am full, whole,
complete, safe, warm, enjoyed, celebrated, adored, loved by my Daddy! That is
the real me, my spirit identity that has existed even from before time and
creation, wow! And through all the years on this earth, through all the turmoil
and confusion, through all the feelings of aloneness, I have been there in His
arms! And that is where I will always be, forever and ever!
God is a
unity of Love, and He loved us before there ever was a world! Back before He
planned time and creation, He had us in His mind and in His heart, and that’s
where we always always ARE, yesterday, today and forever!
