Our relationships with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and what they do in the world and in our lives

[Longfellow]

For me this is not about Trinity beliefs, not about what or who they are or their relationships with each other. It's about our relationships with them and what they do in the world and in our lives. I'll be posting some ideas about it, and hoping for others to do the same.

The Father: I've always thought of the Father as a way of thinking about our relationship with God, without ever thinking about what that might mean specifically, just only as a feeling. Thinking of it now, I don't think that I have ever actually thought of God that way, but maybe now I will read those passages again where Jesus talks about God as our Father.

The Son: For me that only means that He's the ruler of God's kingdom. It has nothing to do with the way He was born.

The Holy Spirit: The importance of the Holy Spirit for me is to see more possibilities in what we do than just the effects of our own actions, that that there's a power and influence that will sometimes amplify and multiply the effects of our efforts to serve the kingdom.
