I don’t ponder the Trinity every morning but when I do it sometimes takes me to a place I wasn’t expecting.
What If?
What if the One who created the galaxies, the mountains, oceans, chickadees, tadpoles, daffodils, raindrops, and life;
And the One who welcomed children, gladly ate with sinners, lived compassion, and died trying to convince us that we are loved;
And the One who persistently calls us and inspires us to live in love;
Were One? One.
And what if that One contains us, and we are a part of that One? And what if we aren’t islands, alone, opposed, or separated but One?
Oh, and what if “love your neighbor as yourself” doesn’t mean to love yourself and then love your neighbor like you love yourself? What if it means that your neighbor and you are a part of one another, One?
Love this post. I think we are One which is why when we see pain we feel pain and when we see tears we shed tears 😢

Wow. I’m sure you have a much better grasp of the Trinity than I do. Three in one or three separate entities? Christ always referred to God as his father, but the Gospel of John states that the “Word was with God in the beginning.” The Gospel also directs his disciples to “Receive the Holy Spirit.” Was the Holy Spirit not yet commissioned, at least for these most important followers. Yet again, Elijah heard “the still small voice in the wilderness” long before.
