What is the Godhead Like?

The following ideas are from Handley Moule's Thoughts for Sundays:

"Let us hold to the uttermost the Eternal Oneness of the Divine Being.  Let us reverently own, because the messengers of God's own revelation bid us to do so, that within (not outside, but within) that Oneness, within that bright Depth, within that most holy Sanctuary, unchangeable and eternal, there is a Life which is More-than-Oneness.

"Within the One Being there is no solitude, but the unspeakable Companionship of Love with Love.  The One God moves and glows within with relations and responses of infinite love.

"There, 'before the foundation of the world' (John 17:24), the FATHER loved the SON.  There, eternally, the eternal Spirit of life and of love is with Them, is One with Them.

"All that thought can do, at this holy height, is just to recognize what revelation says, and then to kneel down side by side, with faith and love.

"Thought can recognize.  Thought can see that we are called not to believe against reason, but above it, which is another thing.  And then thought can come down to the plain, as it were, and follow out some of the results of its view of that Great Glory."
