There is love. Love does exist. We experience it. We experience it only because it manifests itself to us through visible expressions of words and deeds. Through these visible expressions, we experience the transforming power of love that makes us desire to become better persons. In love, we find home.
This is true of the Triune God. There is God (the Father). He exists. We experience him. We experience him only because he manifests himself (his love) to us through his visible creation. Above all, he manifests himself (his love) visibly and completely through his only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ (his words and deeds, his whole life, death and resurrection). The transforming power of God's presence through Christ is the Holy Spirit. This is our God - the God of love - a personal God who reaches out to us and invites us to be in communion with him. For only in him can we find home.
Father, let me experience once again how much You love me through Your Son, Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit. May I love You in return with my all, through Christ in the Holy Spirit.
