Yes, God is real, and He has a sense of humor.
This morning, having a cup of coffee, waking up and beginning my day talking with the Lord, we were discussing one of the mysteries of God - the Godhead. The Trinity has always been something that many have a hard time putting a handle on to understand, so the Lord (in a humorous way) illustrated it in a very simple way.
I just finished an art piece called "As One" which shows in visual form, the Trinity or Godhead. However, although it is a visual representation of this mystery, it does not explain the Godhead in complete clarity, so the Lord made that very simple. He said, It is like a car, moving about, shinning it's light across the darkened countryside. From a distance, it appears as just some moving, bouncing light that moves from here to there. As you get closer, you see it is not just a light, but a vehicle, and if you get right up close to it you see this vehicle is made up of different parts.
The engine (The Father) is the heart of the vehicle. It has a door (Jesus Christ) which allows people to come inside the car and travel across the terrain to their destination within the vehicle. Then it has headlights (The Holy Spirit) that lights the way through the darkness around. Together - it is a car made up of 3 distinct parts, but as a whole it is single - a car.
To those who merely see it as a light bouncing about the country side are those who have perhaps witnessed some of the miracles of God, but never got close enough to understand who He really is.
Then there are some who got close enough to see it is in fact a car and not just some bouncing light, but not close enough (intimate enough) to feel the gentle rumble and purr of the engine, or the feel the comfort of the cushioned seats.
Then there are those who have ridden in the car many times. They can tell you all the fine details of the dashboard, the interior lining and the comfort and protection of riding in the car. They can tell you there is no limit to the amount of people the car can pick up along the way and hold. No matter how many people inside, it is still just as comfortable as it is with just a few. The world just seems different riding in a Rolls Royce then on foot.
Yes, God does have a great sense of humor, and He is even big enough to poke fun at Himself too. I love Him. Perhaps not as much as He loves me, but as much as I am capable of. His grand sense of humor is only one way I love Him... let me count the ways....
Sincerely,
