God continues to seek to shine more and more in our spirits so that we may receive the love, peace, and life that we all are meant to have. The parable of the creation story uplifts and seeks to empower this, using imagery found throughout the Bible and other scriptures to describe spiritual truths while inviting us toward greater love and faith. In this we’re told that God’s love, which like the sun shines on and illuminates everyone, should take root at the heart of our spirits, allowing our ideas and faith to become a guide even in the darkest of times and allowing us to find a life of abundance, diversity, and peace.
