Our Trinity Lordship!!! (1 of 5)
There is no such thing as thinking TOO MUCH about the Almighty God, Jesus Christ His Son, nor the Precious Holy Spirit!
It is "Our Trinity Lordship" who gives us our very breath that we breathe, both naturally and spiritually.
"Their" love for us is constantly demonstrated through "Their" individual roles in our lives (God overseeing us, Jesus saving us and the Holy Spirit teaching us).
"Their" commitment has been proven, continues to be proven, and based on the consistency of "Their" history will continue to be proven.
There is never a moment that we are alone without "Their" eyes, love and covering overseeing our well-being.
Even as we sleep, "They" do not slumber nor sleep, but always are monitoring our very being, even more than medical teams monitor intensive care patients.
"They" thought about us before the world was even created.

Our Trinity Lordship!!!!! (2 of 5)
"Their" masterful, good and mind-blowing plans for our lives were already in place to greet us at our birth.
"They" love us so much that even before we can make the smallest to our largest prayer request,
"Our Trinity Lordship", (God the Father, Jesus the Christ and the Precious Holy Spirit) already has in place, the answers to our requests.
"Their" love for us is so attentive that each tear, which falls from our eyes, and every pain of our hearts is noticed and they administer compassion.
Each day, "They" strongly present "Their" case as to why we should make the decision to submit our hearts to "Our Trinity Lordship".
In addition, "They" give us reasons based on our experience with "Them" on earth why we should look forward to spending eternity with "Them".
Lord God, we can't love You enough!
Jesus Christ, we can't honor You enough!
Holy Spirit, we can't thank You enough!
|
Our Trinity Lordship! !!!!
Therefore, Thank you for our Heavenly Language, which is offered to each of your Followers to enable
us to express more than earthly words could ever do so, our love and thankfulness to You.
So, while we realize that we must carry on our normal life functions, "Our Trinity Lordship" is never out of our minds.
When we truly love You and have yielded our hearts to You, we are mindful of how we must live, talk and what we must do.
It is not that You physically restrain us from doing, but Your love which we experience, constrains us to desire to do what pleases You.
Even as we are traveling on the road of maturing and seeking the victory over those mindsets and habits,
which are not pleasing to You, we are yet motivated to keep seeking the victory because we love and appreciate You so very much.
|
"Our Trinity Lordship", thank you for loving us into righteousness with Your loving-kindness.
Thank you for Your patience with us.
Thank you for your grace and mercy, which You give us over and over and over again.
We can't truthfully call you the God of a 2nd chance, because You are far beyond that.
So perhaps we should say the God of a trillion times a trillion chances.
Thank you for lovingly seeing the intent of our hearts when others are quick to make false judgments of our hearts.
Thank you for the value You place on and over our lives! You say we matter when others try to disregard us.
Lord God, Lord Jesus and Precious Holy Ghost, thank you for stooping far down to pull us out of the miry pits which our bad decisions landed us in.

Our Trinity Lordship!!!!!
(5 of 5)
Thank you for teaching us how to walk in the Kingdom-ship of who we are:
But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God's very own possession.
As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for He called you out of the darkness into His wonderful light. (1 Peter 2:9 NLT).
Sharing with others of Your goodness through how we live, talk and what we do is the very least we can do.
In addition, we are also so very blessed for doing so, for we are reminded repeatedly of Your goodness in our lives.
Thank you "Our Trinity Lordship" for calling us out of the darkness of this world, sin and shame into Your wonderful, glorious light of holiness, self-respect and honor.
Thank you "Our Trinity Lordship".
We will continue throughout eternity, saying thank you, thank you, thank you!
God bless you.

"We can discover much about God by looking at nature. Take the Trinity for example. The Trinity is sort of like an apple. You've got the seeds, the flesh, and the skin. Three different things. Still, together they form one thing, an apple. And under no circumstances will one apple be three things, but the seeds, skin, and flesh will always be three things." Alan de Jager
The Doctrine of the Trinity teaches that within the unity of the one Godhead there are three separate persons who are coequal in power, nature, and eternity. Walter Martin
Some Jews and Muslims accuse Christians of being idolatrous for believing in the Trinity. My response to both groups is that they fundamentally misunderstand the Christian understanding of the Trinity. Miroslav Volf
"Love is made up of three unconditional properties in equal measure: 1. Acceptance 2. Understanding 3. Appreciation. Remove any one of the three and the triangle falls apart. Which, by the way, is something highly inadvisable. Think about it - do you really want to live in a world of only two dimensions? So, for the love of a triangle, please keep love whole."
Vera Nazarian
"Fear, ignorance, and hatred - these are the trinity of malice." Debasish Mridha
"The God who has claimed us for himself if Father, Son and Holy Spirit; not just Father, not just Son, not just Spirit. God is God FOR US - Father. God is God WITH US - Son. God is God IN US - Spirit."
Darrell W. Johnson,
The Father is not consumed with Himself; He loves the Son and the Spirit. And the Son is not riddled with narcissism; he loves his Father and the Spirit. And the Spirit is not preoccupied with himself and his own glory; the Spirit loves the Father and the Son. Giving, not taking; other-centeredness, not self-centeredness; sharing, not hoarding are what fire the rockets of God and lie at the very center of God's existence as Father, Son and Spirit."
C. Baxter Kruger
"Father, Son, and Holy Spirit remind us that there is always more of God than we know, always more of God than we can explain, always more of God than we can show. Thomas R. Steagald
"The doctrine of the Trinity means that relationship, that fellowship, that togetherness and sharing, that self-giving and other-centeredness are not afterthoughts with God, but the deepest truth about the being of God. C. Baxter Kruger
The Trinity says God is not in a box but is bigger, much bigger than we imagine. God is more powerful than we sometimes want to believe or remember, but in remembering there is great comfort."
Thomas R. Steagald
"But of that day and hour no one knows neither the angels in heaven nor the Son but only the Father.' We are not to think that the Son of God as he is God did not know the day or hour but only that his human nature did not know it because his divine nature had not chosen to reveal it to his human nature."
John Owen
"I so often feel terrible that I am not offering the worship God is worthy to receive. My worship is so inadequate and so fickle. What I am learning is that God is receiving the worship that God is worthy to receive. The Father is receiving it from the Son; the Son is receiving it from the Father. And I am invited - I am drawn by the Spirit - into that altogether worthy worship! God is being glorified quite well, thank you. God being rightly glorified is not my burden. It is happening - and you and I are being moved by the Spirit to enter into it." Darrell W. Johnson
"The "Word of God" is not simply the Christian Bible but exists in a threefold form: "The Word" incarnate (Jesus Followers' King), the word prophesied and proclaimed (Prophets), and the word in scripture (Bible). All three are the self-disclosure of God, The One & Only ...in three, distinct & unique Persons, Father, Son, & Holy Spirit." Gary Patton
"The covenants are thus fulfilled through the teamwork of the whole Trinity; otherwise the Gospel is dead and ineffective - as the Apostle Paul explains in First Corinthians 15:12-17:" Reid A. Ashbaucher
