19. My relationship with each member of the Trinity has become distinct and personal during my journey.

Has your connection to the Trinity changed during your spiritual journey?

Do you have a unique relationship with each member of the Trinity? Could you describe each?

Is there one member of the Trinity you would like to know better? Is there anything keeping you from getting to know this member better? Talk to Him about it.

Which person of the Trinity do you most often speak to? Hear from?

Christians believe that God exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We have probably been taught about the members of the Trinity, and we may have some idea about their distinctives.

In our spiritual journey, we have an opportunity to not just know about each person in the Trinity, we can also learn to know each person and form a unique relationship with each. We all come to our journey as Christians from different places, which means that our picture of who God is can be varied. We may use the term “God” to represent all members of the Trinity.

We may prioritize God the Father as our primary connection, or we may find Jesus as our chief representative of the Godhead. The Spirit, too, is a person that we know to be part of the Trinity and different ones of us give different priorities to Him.

Whichever person we connect best with, early in our journey this person may be elevated above the rest. As we grow and mature on our journey, we will find that we develop a clearer understanding and experience of each member of the Trinity and we will enjoy a unique relationship with each.

We will learn to know how each person of the Trinity is unique and we will seek out a connection to this person in their uniqueness. Each person of the Trinity meets a specific need we have, and we will approach the person that best suits that need. We may find that we hear and experience each person in a different way, one that is unique to each.

Finally, we will grow to be comfortable with each person of the Trinity, value each equally, and have an intimacy with each one that is distinct.
