We started this series from John Chuchman back in the middle of December and this is the last of this series of ponderings. We have added a "series navigation" line to the top and bottom of each Pondering as you might like today to go back and tackle the whole series as a set of connected reflections on this theme of the religious quest as a search for the ultimate in love.

The Triune God of Love

God occurs in my experience
as Mystery
of
Love,
an original
self-giving Love,
establishing its own Truth
and
meaning in the Word,
endlessly creative
in the abiding Spirit.

God is Mystery
of
Being-in-Love.

This Self-Giving Love
presupposes
a Self in the Giver,
a Self in the Gift,
a Self in the Giving,
the Trinity.

The Mystery of this Triune God
is the revelation of
Love's Source,
Love's Meaning,
Love's Transforming Power.

Love, John Chuchman
