A MIRROR OF FACES
Lover Staunch believer and defender Silent but with deadly retorts An authoritative presence to behold Offspring defender as a badger grisly Compassionate and obliging Peaceful – liberal – nonjudgmental Sentimental realist Loyal – honest – true – friend Environmental activist And many more . . .
Dearly Beloved,Grace and Peace to you.How easy it is to worship our image of Godinstead of God.The Trinity is not a doctrine, it’s a koan.It’s a way of slippery=izing our images of God:God is This, the Opposite of this, and None of the above.God is More Than One Thing. And The One Thing.God is beyond our knowing or pinning down;yet known, revealed, embodied.The Intimate Beyond, the Infinite Companion,and the Immediate Arising.God is mostly mystery, and all love.Your understanding is fog.Your certainty is noise.Your belief is irrelevant.All there is is love.Let the Loving Mystery confuse you,the Unknowable know you,the Unspeakable do the speaking.God,the Lover, the Beloved and the Love Flowing,holds you.Let it be so.Deep Blessings,Pastor Steve
