Understanding and trusting the love the Trinity has for us is directly linked to our ability to make love the dominant feature in our own lives. To the degree that we realize the love in which God steadily holds us, we can love other people (including the people we're certain will disappoint or hurt us). We can afford to ignore our fear of being hurt; we can stop doing self-protection. It's probably as we take those kinds of risks, that we'll experience the total reliability of the Trinity. (Oh ouch! 'Someone' just pointed out a place where I'm in self-protection mode. Okay!) Your words have the ring of truth, David.

Its hard for a variety of reasons, maybe because of our pasts or maybe just the fear of getting hurt. This weekend I believe that we all are going to make the effort to make Love our most dominant feature now that we realize the Love that the Trinity has for us. This wekend has given me such an appeciation of the Trinity, so much so I know I can rely on them when I go through daily struggles. Thank you for the pleasure of all of your company, for the tears, the hugs, the laughs, the Love. With this weekend now gone may we all will approach everyday with the Love that the Trinity offers us, to make Love our Dominant Feature...
