All things in Three

This evening I was reading this sermon by Songbird.

How do you think of the trinity?  It's a concept that is way too complicated to really understand, I think.  Of course its purpose is too describe a God who is much too complicated to understand or even imagine.

There is an aspect of it I have never really considered before.   There are times when we need a creator -- a father -- an almighty presence.  There are times when we need a brother -- a friend -- an advocate -- a savior.  There are times when we need a presence -- a shadow -- a guide.  Whatever our need, God can meet it for he is all of these.

The trinity describes a God who can be all things - whatever we need, whenever we need it.
