The Singularity of God

Deuteronomy 6:4:  "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one."
John 1:1-4: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning.  Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.   In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind."

Lord, You are all that is,
  all that has been,
  and all that will be.
You encompass all and are within all.
  In a divine spiral, You sit at the centermost point of all existence.
  My life, my worries and my joys
revolve around the great sustainer that is You.
The spiral eternally spins in unison with all that is.
By Your Word it began,
  through Your Word it endures,
  and in Your Word it conitues.
Instill in me the simplicity of my union with You.
  Amen
