Our perceptions of who God is affect our relationship with God, our worship and our service. A view of a judgemental God will lead to an element of fear and anxiety to please and obey. An overemphasis on a loving God may lead to a reduction of awe and wonder at the mystery and might of God. I am always challenged at Christmas as I imagine holding the baby Jesus, fully human yet fully God, in my arms. How can I relate to a baby as the all-powerful and all-knowing God I worship?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eRecently, I was also challenged to reconsider my reactions to God as female. I have previously thought that I didn't need to think of God as mother. I had a good relationship with my father and this enabled me to have a positive relationship with my heavenly Father - so why change that? Surely Mother God was for those who couldn't (for whatever valid reason) relate to a male God? Or maybe I was wrong! It was put to me that God is neither male nor female, so maybe I should be thinking of God as both male and female. Now there was a completely different approach.

Our perceptions of who God is affect our relationship with God, our worship and our service. A view of a judgemental God will lead to an element of fear and anxiety to please and obey. An overemphasis on a loving God may lead to a reduction of awe and wonder at the mystery and might of God. I am always challenged at Christmas as I imagine holding the baby Jesus, fully human yet fully God, in my arms. How can I relate to a baby as the all-powerful and all-knowing God I worship?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eRecently, I was also challenged to reconsider my reactions to God as female. I have previously thought that I didn't need to think of God as mother. I had a good relationship with my father and this enabled me to have a positive relationship with my heavenly Father - so why change that? Surely Mother God was for those who couldn't (for whatever valid reason) relate to a male God? Or maybe I was wrong! It was put to me that God is neither male nor female, so maybe I should be thinking of God as both male and female. Now there was a completely different approach.

God loves me, warts and all. He knows all those warts, but still loves me. Yet, because he loves me so much, he also sees a better way for me to be me. He isn't going to suddenly change me into that perfect person he knows I can become, but he is longing to work with me to help me on that path.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFortunately, it isn't dependent on me working hard to become the person God intends me to be. But I do have a part to play in this process. I need to put myself into a situation where I enable God to work within me and I need to allow him to do that work. This means putting myself into God's presence and spending time with him. Like many of you, I know from experience that the better quality the time I offer to God, the better the encounter and the more he is able to work in and with me. As I spend time being his beloved creation, so I become his beloved creation, and that means I become more like the beloved woman he knows I can become.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe closer I get to God, the more I am drawn closer still, and the more I am able to live a life that reflects God's presence with me.

My prayer is that you are able to use this issue of Quiet Spaces to find ways of being with God and encountering him, and that this will lead you closer to becoming the person he longs for you to be.

This means putting myself into God's presence and spending time with him. Like many of you, I know from experience that the better quality the time I offer to God, the better the encounter and the more he is able to work in and with me.

This issue opens with a beautiful set of notes from Book 1 of the Psalms by the Rev Dr Sara Batts. She has titled her notes: 'All human life is here: finding ourselves in the psalms'. While we human beings come in many shapes and sizes, with different gifts, experiences and backgrounds, we all experience the same range of emotions: hope, joy despair, anger, hatred, fear, worry, peace, turmoil, confusion, love - and many, many more. How wonderful, then, to come to the scriptures and find them all there and to discover that God understands how these emotions impact on us and on our relationship with him. We are often shaken by our negative emotions, but he is the immoveable 'rock' beneath us, keeping us safe.

This issue opens with a beautiful set of notes from Book 1 of the Psalms by the Rev Dr Sara Batts. She has titled her notes: 'All human life is here: finding ourselves in the psalms'. While we human beings come in many shapes and sizes, with different gifts, experiences and backgrounds, we all experience the same range of emotions: hope, joy despair, anger, hatred, fear, worry, peace, turmoil, confusion, love - and many, many more. How wonderful, then, to come to the scriptures and find them all there and to discover that God understands how these emotions impact on us and on our relationship with him. We are often shaken by our negative emotions, but he is the immoveable 'rock' beneath us, keeping us safe. We all have our mountain top and valley experiences, sometimes one following the other with unnerving rapidity - but Christine Platt shows us that the Lord is there in both, never leaving our side.

Paul Young. The novel is based around a man's suffering after his child is abducted and killed. The story, however, does not dwell on the painful details of the tragedy, but explores what happens when 'Mack' has a letter from God inviting him to come and spend a weekend away with him. Mack, a white American man, reluctantly agrees and is shocked to find God represented by a motherly black woman ('Papa' - Father God), a shimmering, Asian woman ('Sarayu' - the Holy Spirit) and a smiling man of Middle Eastern appearance (Jesus). The majority of the story is based around the Trinity's joyful relationship and the emotional healing Mack is given through their understanding and love.\u003cbr\u003eTheologically, the book raises plenty of questions, as must any story that attempts to look into the character of our mysterious God. However, it offers an intriguing, fresh perspective. It draws us into the idea of the love relationship between the persons of our Trinitarian God - and the relationship we might have too.\u003cbr\u003eI enjoyed watching the film but found that for the last half hour, while I sat enjoying the ideas and images in front of me, next to me my husband Nick was sobbing quietly. The suffering of the child's father and the healing, kind, gentle presence of the heavenly 'Father' had moved him beyond words. It reminded me that we all have different responses at different times to our God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Paul Young. The novel is based around a man's suffering after his child is abducted and killed. The story, however, does not dwell on the painful details of the tragedy, but explores what happens when 'Mack' has a letter from God inviting him to come and spend a weekend away with him. Mack, a white American man, reluctantly agrees and is shocked to find God represented by a motherly black woman ('Papa' - Father God), a shimmering, Asian woman ('Sarayu' - the Holy Spirit) and a smiling man of Middle Eastern appearance (Jesus). The majority of the story is based around the Trinity's joyful relationship and the emotional healing Mack is given through their understanding and love.\u003cbr\u003eTheologically, the book raises plenty of questions, as must any story that attempts to look into the character of our mysterious God. However, it offers an intriguing, fresh perspective. It draws us into the idea of the love relationship between the persons of our Trinitarian God - and the relationship we might have too.\u003cbr\u003eI enjoyed watching the film but found that for the last half hour, while I sat enjoying the ideas and images in front of me, next to me my husband Nick was sobbing quietly. The suffering of the child's father and the healing, kind, gentle presence of the heavenly 'Father' had moved him beyond words. It reminded me that we all have different responses at different times to our God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Sometimes our relationship feels easy and joyful, and sometimes it feels distant and merely dutiful. At other times, we can be moved to tears, overwhelmed by the constant love of our Father the comforter and counsellor, the one who knows us better than anyone else in the whole world and who promises to be with us always and calls us to come home to him.\u003cbr\u003eThis season of notes looks at the work of the Trinity, through history and in our lives, particularly as we explore Father in Abraham's 'school of faith' with Jennifer Rees Larcombe, keep step with the Spirit with Fiona Barnard and reflect on Jesus' parables with Lyndall Bywater.
