My thoughts about the verses:
This is probably one of the hardest things to understand about the Creator. There are distinct personalities of the spirit of God. Yet, they are one in the same. The fact is at this point Jesus was already telling the disciples of the Holy Spirit that would soon come to the Earth to cleanse them of their sin. Therefore God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit were here in the beginning and continue to be here to this very day.
I guess the easiest way to explain this is using the analogy of a book that has been turned into a movie and also made into a sound track. If you have ever read a book before seeing the movie you will find yourself seeing things differently. Reading the book allows you imagination to create a world of your own imagination. When you listen to a sound track you will have a different experience because words that you have said may be spoken much differently. We all have heard the saying the movie isn't as good as the book. The problem that occurs is that our mind has created a reality that is just ours. When we hear the sound track or the movie is mind is trying to compare what we have seen with what someone's mind is thinking.
The book that we read is like the Creator. It is the beginning. When you read a book your mind gets to create the things that occur in the book. You can imagine yourself playing a role or allow others to be a part of the book. You may focus on one thing when you read it the first time. The parental role of God is the one who does the creating and shows the first signs of love. Therefor the love we experience comes through the beauty that we see around us. This is a total trust issue our connection is done on a spiritual basis that only we can see. We can only guess what God is truly like we have a relationship of awe when we think of God. Our mind allows us to view the parent with such openness and we are allowed to see all things as a possibility.
Jesus is like the movie. The creator is now in flesh. We can see and hear the words spoken like through a new interpretation. The son is a bodily form that we can visually see. Jesus loves us so much that he was willing to sacrifice his own flesh so that we could have life. This time the movie is just as good as the book. Yet, a set image comes into play. We are able to take the thoughts of our mind and place them within a set image. We can see the pain as nails are driven in his hands. We can feel the tears as they roll from his eyes. We can feel the love that is shared by him washing the feet of his followers. The imagination is completed because we now have a God that is both spiritual and human.
The Holy Spirit is like the sound track. The spirit lives within those that have accepted Christ. Once this occurs what we hear is the Holy Spirit talking through us. New thoughts and ideas are created through the connection that we share with the divine. We now have a part of the Trinity that lives within us and we do not have to look outside you to experience true love with God. We need to realize that the thoughts we have to do service, to love, to bring peace comes from that inner voice that is God. We have our own interpretation of those words because they will be unique for each person that hears them. Those that have not accepted Jesus's death will not hear that true spiritual voice. Yet, once you say yes to Jesus the Holy Spirit floods you with new life and new thoughts. Those thoughts are not all your own because they are intertwined with the divine Spirit of God.
All three have been here since the beginning preparing a way for us to get to Heaven. Yet, we have to be open to the fact that different times in our life one part of the Trinity will be more influence than another part. I know for me there are times I feel the Parent encouraging my imagination and my thoughts. At other times I see Jesus embracing me and giving me the contact of love that I so need. Then there are those times that I feel the Holy Spirit flooding my mind with thoughts that are directly linked with God. If you allow yourself to experience all that God is then your life will be more complete.
Prayer:
Dear God we want to thank you for all the endless love you have shown to us. We thank you for allowing us to feel you on a daily basis. We offer our praises to you for your compassion, protection and hope. We ask you right now God to help us accept what you desire for us. Help us listen to the voice of wisdom so that we accept your calling. Help us understand the Spirit so that we may live up to all you have expected in our life. Help us return the love that you have shown us to the rest of the world. In the name of the Parent, and the Son and the Holy Spirit we pray. Amen
Questions:
Have you allowed God to work through you today? Do you understand the power that is God? Have you allowed the Holy Spirit to flood you with wisdom? Are you willing to accept the challenges that lay ahead? Have you seen the love that Jesus gave by dying on the Cross? Have you allowed your imagination to expand through your connection with the Parent?
