The Son heart of God

This topic is likely to have quite a few episodes of thought, due to the fact that it is a very meaty subject, capable of turning many worlds upside down, and as far as I know it still has yet to be discussed in fullness by anyone, we must take it one bite at a time. In my short walk in Christianity, there have been very few teachers that speak on the intimacy and closeness of our hearts to God. The ones that do, however, concede and condition the fact in their own hearts that this is how God created us, to be in total dependence and communion with our almighty provider. Yet there are ever fewer teachings that delve into this and begin to realize that Colossians 1 is describing the creation story, yet in a much more deific sense. Jesus has the fullness of deity dwelling within Him, yet He is also responsible for creating everything that God himself created in the seven days of Genesis 1-2. "How did they do this?" is what we all have to ask ourselves at some point, and to be frank, that's the mystery of it. They just did. However, we can also answer this question by saying "in relationship." They achieved the greatest task known to man, in the history of the universe, in relationship with one another, in communion. Father, Son, and we can maybe call the Holy Spirit Mother.

The Father commanded, ("Let there be light") the Spirit empowered, ("and behold") and the Son acted ("there was light"). The Father commanded ("the son can only do") the Spirit empowered ("what he sees") the Son acted ("his Father doing").

If you can't tell by now, it is a cycle of union, obedience, and oneness in thought. This quick exercise very aptly displays the importance of obedience to the voice, but it's more than that. It very deeply and profoundly explains the importance of communion, of time spent alone with the Father, of submission and intimacy with the heart of the Father. It is a fallacy to think that the Son doesn't carry the heart of the Father, because when they are so like each other that you can't even distinguish what the Father does in place of what the Son does you know that it is a supernatural occurrence.

There is a stage where it gets hard to put into words the goodness of the Father's heart, the love that he pours out onto those who He has called son's so freely. Yet in this world, it is the most important thing we have access to, and what our challenge is is to grasp the Son heart of God, with both hands and hang on as tightly as we can, no matter what. We hang on because we know there is absolutely no question that this is the best thing we'll ever do with our lives, and there is nothing that can even come close to being loved by the fullness of deity who dwells within us.
