TRINITY : INFINITY
Kinship With a Boundless God
A lifetime of
probing and wondering,
Searching, praying, and examining,
On a quest for form and meaning
Of the nature of the Trinity
It’s been a
special odyssey
To comprehend
this mystery,
To gain a
personal mastery
Of God’s essential nature
I was baffled
yet attracted
And frequently reacted,
Also powerfully impacted
By its complexities
As I reflect in retrospect
I detect a
serious defect,
The failure of the intellect
To comprehend the infinite
Logic cannot
measure the boundless
Nor reason accommodate the limitless,
How to handle the measureless
Became for me the issue
Time and
again I was taken aback
When coming to terms with my lack
Each time I sought to unpack
This doctrine of the Trinity
I found the issue of special mention,
That heavenly education
Is given by the Spirit’s tuition,
That understanding comes by faith
This means
that revelation
Must be allowed its intention
To transform the mind’s dimension
To think the thoughts of God
Reason and
logic alone are sterile
Handling spiritual things they are futile,
The Spirit of God can make them fertile
In producing true understanding
Trinity’s
meaning is shown in fullness
Through the coming and work of Jesus,
His life and teachings are the genesis
Of discovering Divine togetherness
The Gospels
are a facility
For engaging
with the Trinity,
For there we see the unity
Of Father, Son, and Spirit
John’s Gospel
and the Revelation
Are the entry points for my education,
And also for my appreciation
Of kinship with the Godhead
The grace of the Father, Son, and Spirit
The three in one, not separate,
In him I become regenerate
Incorporated into his family
The end of my
search is a beginning,
Revelation comes with an underpinning
For findings of truth and new discerning
In the immensities of the Trinity
I have an
affinity with the Divine
An affinity absolutely sublime,
The Three in One are mine, yes mine!
And I am his forever!
