Desire to know where we came from,
To discover our roots.
Searching for our ancestors has
Become easier with the internet and
The accessibility of DNA samples.
But we take a risk.
The results of our quest may be
Disappointing rather than pleasing.
In Bible study we discussed the topic of
Origins.
The Book is concise and clear:
"In the beginning God created..." *
He created not only the world but a
Man and woman to populate it,
Our first parents.
I can look back and trace my lineage to
God Himself.
Knowing I'm not a mindless product of
Time and chance gives meaning to my
Life.
Knowing God is my Father gives me
Value, and security and
Bragging rights.
*Genesis 1:1
