Water, ice, steam

A triangle
So many weak attempts to explain the Trinity.
The truth is that we cannot explain God. Oh, we continue to try. For centuries we have tried — and for centuries we have fallen short.
Thanks be to God that God is not an equation to be mastered.
Thanks be to God that God is not a puzzle to be solved.
God is the “I AM” God has been, God is, and God will be.
God created and God creates
God spoke and God speaks
God comforted and God comforts
God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit
God the Creator God the Redeemer God the Sustainer.
We still aren’t quite sure how to label God and even though our attempts to explain and label fall short, many would rather fight over explaining and labeling God instead of following and growing in God’s ways.
Creator: How are we allowing God to create within us? How are we allowing God to create through us--paths for peace comfort, paths for healing and new ideas?
Redeemer: How are we allowing God to redeem within us? How are we allowing God to redeem through us so that we can live in freedom and free others from standards and expectations that are not healthy?
Sustainer: How are we allowing God to sustain us? How are we allowing God to use us in sustaining? In supporting? In offering relief?
How will you choose to see God today?
