The immensity, scope, intimacy, and pervasiveness of God’s presence is too intense for the human mind. We often limit God by our expectations of him and have a hard time just letting God be God. Some people all too easily lose faith, because God does not meet their expectations. Worse still, the idea of faith is rejected altogether by others, because of polarities and experiences they have that do not square with who they need God to be.
The Holy Trinity is one of those teachings that is best encountered rather than dissected. It is only through being present with the Trinity that we can experience both the immensity and otherness of God’s presence, as well as the intimacy of the God who wants us to call Him dad. We feel the loving guidance of a God who wants to take us from fear and give us confidence.
Our God of yesterday, today, and tomorrow is a God of all ages whose three-fold Presence invades all senses, seasons, and times. God, who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is much more than any of our expectations, if we simply let God be who God is.
