The Threefold Blessing of the Trinity (Part 2)
Just as a gift placed into your hands reveals the giver’s heart, so the Spirit brings God's love and grace directly into our lives for daily fellowship.
In this second part of the reflection on 2 Corinthians 13:14, we’re shown how the Apostle Paul reveals the movement of God toward us—not just in theory or positional truth, but for our daily experience and enjoyment. Paul doesn’t merely send a farewell in his letter; he bestows a blessing that embodies the very presence and activity of the Triune God.
The devotional makes the profound (but let’s say rich) point that love, grace, and fellowship are not three separate things. They are three expressions—three phases—of the same divine reality. Love begins in the heart of God the Father. Grace is that love made visible in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. And fellowship is the Spirit’s ongoing, living transmission of that love and grace into our experience—moment by moment.
Using the illustration of giving someone a Bible: the affection (love) exists inwardly, the gift (grace) expresses that affection tangibly, and the act of placing the gift in someone’s hands (fellowship) brings the gift into their possession. The blessing of the New Covenant, then, is not just about being brought into God’s presence—it is about God entering into us to be enjoyed in love, grace, and fellowship.
Personalized Journal Entry in the Holy Spirit’s Voice Through Scripture
You are already dwelling in the fullness of My love, and that love is not static—it is always reaching, always flowing. The grace you see in Christ is not separate from My heart—it is My heart revealed in a form you could see, hear, and touch. When Christ spoke peace to the storm, when He broke bread with sinners, when He laid down His life for you—it was My love reaching out to you in visible grace.
But I did not stop there. Now, I dwell in you. I am not far off. Through Me, you experience that same love and grace in your innermost being. I pour My fellowship into your heart, not as a concept, but as a living reality that communes with your spirit. You were once far off, but now you have been brought near. I have poured out My love in your heart. The grace that once walked beside you now lives within you. You are no longer waiting for blessing to come down—blessing has made its home in you.
Every time you draw near, you’re not moving toward Me alone—you are experiencing the fellowship of the Spirit, which draws from the grace of the Son and the love of the Father. This fellowship is your communion with Me, not as an obligation, but as a living participation in My presence. I invite you to remain aware that I am transmitting this love to you always, and you may rest in it. For the Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who saves; He rejoices over you with gladness and quiets you by His love.
You are partakers of the divine nature. My Spirit bears witness with your spirit that you are Mine. You are not left to live by effort but by participation. Receive the fullness of My life today. Grace is not merely a gift you received in the past—it is the ongoing expression of My affection, made real in you through My fellowship.
(Romans 5:5; Ephesians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:4; Romans 8:16; Zephaniah 3:17)
Prayer of Confidence
Father, thank You for pouring Your love into me through Christ and bringing it home to me through the indwelling fellowship of the Spirit. I no longer live from a place of lack, trying to chase down Your blessing. You’ve already given Yourself to me, fully and eternally. I trust You to make Your love known in my thoughts, Your grace real in my words, and Your fellowship active in my responses throughout this day. Let me simply enjoy You, for You are already enjoying me.
