"A good many people nowadays say, 'I believe in a God, but not in a personal God.' They feel that the mysterious something which is behind all other things must be more than a person. And in a sense they are right about this. But although they say God is beyond personality, they end up thinking of him as something impersonal, as a vague sort of power, or as a great void: that is, as something less than personal" (C. S. Lewis).

God is more than personal: he is superpersonal. God is three divine Persons united in love and in being. In these meditations we have focused on each divine Person, often in connection with a particular activity. We've linked the Father with creation and providence; the Son, with forgiveness and salvation; the Spirit, with indwelling and transformation. But even when a particular Person stands in the forefront of a particular work, the three always work as one.

Jesus said that when the Spirit lives in you (14:17), "you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you" (14:20). When the Spirit comes to you, Jesus and the Father also come (14:23). As the Spirit in you moves you to love the Father and obey Jesus, the Father and Jesus love you in the Spirit. You are caught up in the life of the Trinity: in God's love for God!

PRAYER--Holy Trinity, what a marvel you are! And what a miracle that we can be partakers of the divine nature! Love us and live in us, that we may love you and live in you forever. Amen.
