Before the foundations of the world were spoken into being, God the Father, Son & Spirit were. Their being wasn’t some static, plain existence, but a vital interpenetration of vitality, nuclear joy, self-offering love and perfect security.
God thirst that we would thirst for him, is such a good reminder found in the character of God. He never stops desiring relationship with his creation.
The Love and wanting is so Wonderful. I was overwhelmed with His desire and love for me last week in prayer and it is so humbling and deep yet whole. Thank you for sharing this.
Strahan. I read and loved Beholding soon after it was released, but I didn’t know about your Beholding Prayer podcast. Just listened to the one from today. I didn’t know how much I needed that this morning. Thank you.
It was later in life probably in my 40’s when I attended seminary that I was introduced to this idea of the Trinity being the perfect community of love and the idea that God did not need to create us. Im not sure this is talked about in most churches. (I say as a person who attends weekly worship and has been very involved in several congregations over my life time. ). Learning that helped me understand God’s ultimate unconditional love for me. I think there is another view opposite of trying to earn God’s love. Maybe apathy - God loves me, okay I don’t have to do anything so I put God on the back burner until I need something.
