Genesis 1:1-2

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

- Genesis 1:1-2


Commentary: "In the beginning God"; the first four words say it all. Removing mankind's finite timeline, there is just God. Infinite. All-powerful. All-wise. God. And, we're introduced to His Spirit. God the Father, the Holy Spirit -- and knowing other scripture -- the Son of God. Three persons, one God. Communing with each other during the formation of the universe. Who knows how long the "hovering" took place. Maybe long enough for the light of the billions of stars and galaxies to reach the earth -- just as He said next, "Let there be light." The love shared between the three persons of God for perhaps billions of years pales in comparison to the love shared in eternity-past. This is the same love God bestows on us. I desire this love.
