Relationships are so
important, and we so often get them wrong.
But God provides the example – the ultimate in relationships is surely
the Trinity. Rowan Williams (in Choose Life, Bloomsbury, 2013) reminds
us that: “God’s gift at Christmas is relationship, not just another human
relationship but relation to God the Father by standing where Jesus stands,
standing in the full torrent of his love and creativity, giving and
receiving. To come into that place and
be rooted and grounded there means letting go of our fear of dependence and
opening our hearts to be fed and enlarged and transformed.”
When we open
ourselves to relationships, we open ourselves to possibility. One of the great things about our faith is
that God chooses us to be his partners and, as the Body of Christ, that
partnership extends also to how we engage with and support each other.
