Let’s get Personal
As we are getting started on this TRIP, we all need to realize that we are not in this alone. Please know that as you go through this time that you have all that you need already provided to you. You will not be lacking in what is needed to make it to your destination. God has already given all. Let's take some time now to learn more about Him and Who He is and how He is here for you now.
GOD IS A PERSON (3 in 1)
God is a person. He is not a force in the universe. He has an identity and personality. He is three persons in one. He is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each is God and together they are God. All work together to accomplish His will.
God has a mind and desires. He communicates with all He chooses and has relationships. Since He created you and everything that is, He does have a plan and desire for you. He communicates to you in many ways.
In any communication, it is best to get it straight from the person and not through a third party. God has written to you in His Word - the Holy Bible. He also desires to communicate directly with you through prayer. This is why it is so good for us to come to God at the beginning of each day and throughout the day to learn from Him and discuss everything with Him.
As God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, He is there to care for you, has lived in a physical body like you and lives inside of you when you have received Him (Jesus) as your personal Savior.
God is a person; however, He is not like us being flawed and broken needing restoration. He is holy and all-powerful. He is merciful and full of grace.
He did create us in His image and now desires to remake you into who He has planned for you to be. Go to Him and accept all He has for you.
Genesis 1:26-27 NIV
Then God said, "Let us make mankind in Our image, in Our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.
Matthew 28:18-20 NIV
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
John 14:25-26 NIV
All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
