The fact that God is Love means that God is self-sharing by nature. Being Love itself, God does not remain isolated in the perfection of His divinity, closed off from His creation. The Trinitarian relationship between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is one of perfect self-sharing, but being Love, God does not restrict Himself. He shares Himself with us in myriad and diverse ways, but in a most especially beautiful way by sharing His Son with us. The Son is the perfect image of Love. God is the only true Benefactor, the Lover of Mankind. The Son, too, shares with us His Father as our Father, and gives to us His Spirit as our Spirit, that we might share in His Life.
He gives Himself to every part of creation, being Himself the logos-reason within every creature. Through them, then, He gives Himself to us. We partake of His creation as if (because it really is) partaking of Him. No part of creation is outside Him. There is nowhere we can go to flee Him. Even His absence is His presence, considered differently. All things in creation speak to us of His self-sharing on our behalf. What is more, we taste of that Body which sits above, adored by angels, Love incorruptible. Because He is imminent to us and yet also eternally in Himself, every time we receive His self-sharing, we receive something of His grace, His character. We partake of His nature that which is communicable to us. What it communicates to us is that growing likeness to Him for which we were created. A likeness to Love.
The point is that every way of salvation is open to us! He has created us out of Love! He has given us all of creation to taste of His Love! He has given to us His own Body! He has made us to be His own Body! He calls us to share in the miracle of making all things new! There is nothing in life that is not salvageable. There is nothing that is not an opportunity for grace. There is not a single choice that is not a choice for eternity. There is not a moment in which we cannot say, “Let it be unto me according to Thy word”. There is not a single encounter or circumstance that is not touched by divine Love, communicating to us divine Life.
Do we still turn away from Him to what is not Love and Life? Do we still prefer darkness? Is not the depth of the abyss our own making? Is not our apathy killing us?
