"As verily as God is our Father, so verily God is our Mother; and that shewed He in all, and especially in these sweet words where He saith: I it am (it is I). That is to say, I it am, the Might and the Goodness of the Fatherhood; I it am, the Wisdom of the Motherhood; I it am, the Light and the Grace that is all blessed Love: I it am, the Trinity, I it am, the Unity: I am the sovereign Goodness of all manner of things. I am that maketh thee to love: I am that maketh thee to long: I it am, the endless fulfilling of all true desires."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 59)
God is more than we could ever imagine. God is the best Father, the best Mother, of which the best human parents are just faint echoes. For the Trinity is our true Family, tenderly embracing us with a love like we have never known on earth, love like we have always longed to experience, love like we could hardly even dream of. For God is love, and love is all God is. God is the light of our lives, the grace that supports us all, always caring for us, always adoring us, always cheering us on. God is the goodness infusing everything, for God is all good, and thus all God does and all God radiates is good. God is the source of all the loving that happens on earth, the source of our truest longings, and the fulfillment of our deepest desires. God will endlessly fulfill and satisfy us for all eternity. How wonderful is this God! Even if we think of God in the most positive way that we can, it is only a small fraction of how good, wonderful, loving and beautiful our God really is!
