Thoughts on a Unitarian God

Is it good to be a lonely God?

No one who can create with Him.

No one who understands Him.

No one who can be intimate with Him.

Some days would He shout:

"Eli Eli lama sabachthani?"

Two Celtic Christian Trinity Poems

O Father who sought me,
O Son who bought me,
O Holy Spirit who taught me.


Above a Triscilion

Three folds of the cloth,
yet only one napkin is there,
Three joints in the finger,
but still only one finger fair,
Three leaves of the shamrock,
yet no more than one shamrock to wear,
Frost, snow-flakes and ice,
all in water their origin share,
Three Persons in God;
to one God alone we make prayer.

Triscilion--a figure composed of three usually curved or bent branches radiating from a center

In my deal with God

21 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
(2 Corinthians 1:21-24 NIV)

16 Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? 17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple.
(1 Corinthians 3:16-17 NIV)

(If Donald Trump was saved)

In my deal with God
I went from the landlord of me
to a tenant of the Almighty.

In my deal with God
my real estate was rezoned
from commercial to worship.

In my deal with God
my security was now
provided by Him.

In my deal with God
He had to evict some of
my former tenants.

In my deal with God
my mentors were not books or teachers
but the Holy Spirit.

In the deal with God
my rent was that my entire heart, mind,
soul and strength
now belongs to Him.

In my deal with God
He said if I break this arrangement
There would literally be
Hell to pay.

Lean on Me (Holy Spirit)

Rested on Bezalel so he could furnish the Temple.
Rested on Samson so he could kill a lion with his bare hands.
Rested on and then departed from Saul.
Rested on and then refused to go away from David.
Rested on Isaiah’s promised Messiah.
Rested on the previously dry bones in the desert.
Rested on the chosen virgin.
Rested on the baptized Jesus.
Rested on the Gospel writers.
Rested on Paul.
and
Today
The Spirit forever
Rests on us
so we may let go of the world
and live in the grace
of the Trinity.

Amen.

Faith (is love in action)

To the angel of the church in Thyatira write:
I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance,
and that you are now doing more than you did at first. (Revelation 18a,19)

I believe
therefore I will do
what the Master asks.

What the Master asks
is sometimes beyond my ken
yet I must do it.

Yet it only appears beyond my ken
because the Master has prepared me for the task.
Therefore in faith I will trust Him.

The ways the Master has prepared me
are by actions I couldn’t imagine.
Therefore I will believe in what the Master has planned.

The actions I couldn’t imagine
become more and more evident as
I work on what the Master commands.

And the more and more
I abide in the Master’s desires
My faith translates into love in action.
Today on earth
and
Someday in Paradise.

Amen.
