God's love is a strange, beautiful, confusing thing. The Holy Spirit has been something Christians, Catholics, and even agnostics have been unable to understand for centuries. In my opinion, I believe God IS love. There has been debate among the evangelicals on whether, or not, gay marriage is an okay thing. If God IS love, don't you think he loves all of his creations? When Jesus (or Yeshua) Christ began his ministry, he went out of his way to let others know to love your neighbor, and foe was for the best. This Christmas season, let us all forget the old ways of going about everyday life. Let us embrace our differences, and love one another. That's what Jesus would have wanted, after all! He wouldn't have wanted us to be divisive, hateful, and ignorant. He would want us to breaking bread with the sinners, (even though what they do is not sin) and love one another.
The Holy Spirit is confusing, because, we don't know who or what it is. We do know it's apart of the Holy Trinity, and that it is God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That leads me to believe God the Son is the Spirit, working in and through, us. When I have been longing for the Spirit to talk to me, (which, trust me, baffles non-believers) I hear things such as, "My son," "Find comfort in me," "Be still." Last night, while I was in the bathtub, I heard Jesus speak through the Spirit and proclaim, "Find peace in my name." While I was reading the bible, and enjoying solitude, in the nice hot water.
Jesus is a very kind, loving, good Father figure. He will never leave, forsake, nor care who you get into bed with. I mean, after all, he did always hang out with 12 guys. You don't think he experimented with bi-sexuality?
All jokes, aside, I want to make it clear: God is love, God is good, and God's love is beautiful.
I have always described God's love as a very warm, overwhelming, and unconditional feeling from the Holy Spirit. In fact, I am currently feeling, it as I type this very blog post.
God is love. Jesus loves each one of his creations, and knows them all by name.
