Humble Service
Straightforwardly put, envision yourself mirroring Christ Jesus in your mindset. Despite his divine nature, he didn't grasp onto his equality with God, but willingly emptied himself. This self-emptying, known as kenosis, epitomizes the entire Trinity's existence.
Consider the Trinity as an everlasting, self-emptying fountain of Love. Picture three buckets on a revolving waterwheel. Each bucket fills, empties, and returns to be filled again. The Father pours into the Son, the Son into the Spirit, and the Spirit into the Father, withholding nothing. They can freely empty themselves because they trust in being replenished. Their essence is boundless love, the universe's core.
Living in a scarcity mindset, where there's never enough, breeds fear and reluctance to let go. But embracing infinite love as the universe's essence breaks this cycle of scarcity. If you're safeguarding your ego or securing your identity, you're holding on, contrary to kenosis.
Interestingly, the roles of each member of the Trinity are interchangeable. While identifying them differently aids human understanding, they wholly surrender to one another.
Those marginalized or oppressed often embody these divine qualities. They trust in love, seek communion, and serve others, recognizing that only a suffering God can truly understand and save them.
Embrace this pattern as a sign of living in God. Those filled with divine love naturally gravitate towards solidarity with the powerless, finding fulfillment in serving others. Just as water seeks the lowest places, their power overflows in humble service. Little wonder why Christians symbolically begin their spiritual journey with baptism.
