What is a correct relationship between the Son / Holy Spirit and me? Who can I depend on for strength in time of weakness?
I believe that it is faithful to consider yourself a child of God the Father, a sister or brother of God the Son and as one living with God the Holy Spirit alive within you.
Can I depend on God the Father or God the Son or God the Holy Spirit in time of weakness? I believe the answer to this is yes. We may find ourselves in different times of crisis relating to God in different ways, but I believe that all persons of Trinity are in relationship with us and offer strength in the times of weakness or crisis.
I encourage you to chose a few passages below and reflect on your relationship with God. What are your thoughts? How do you most often relate to God?

God the Holy Spirit living within you

This question came out of a young adult small group taster last Sunday morning in which I taught about the question “What is the Trinity?”
