The Relationship of God
Is God ever alone? What relationships does God have? What is God’s relationships like?
God has never been alone. God is always in a loving and reciprocal and interdependent relationship with himself, as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is always selflessly and sacrificially deferring to himself in an outpouring of love as he glorifies himself in perfect loving relationship.
God’s Spirit guides us into every truth as he reveals himself to us in love. God reveals himself in love and invites us into this loving relationship of God.
Jesus promised, “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.” (John 16:13-15, ESV).
The loving relationship of God pours out in love to all of God’s children as God invites us into this loving relationship with himself.
May we experience the love of God as the love of the Trinity spills out into our lives and invites us into this loving relationship of God in the dance of the Trinity.
A Collect for Trinity Sunday: “Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
