Day 1: Come and Knock on God's Door
Scripture: Romans 8:14–17
Reflection:
If you’ve ever watched Three’s Company, you know the whole premise depends on three very different people learning how to live together in one shared space. It’s chaotic, it’s funny—and somehow, it works.
The Trinity isn’t a sitcom, but the mystery of three persons—Father, Son, and Spirit—sharing one divine life echoes this idea of shared relationship. God isn’t some abstract concept in the clouds. God is relational, loving, dynamic... and most incredibly, God invites you into that relationship.
Through the Spirit, Paul says, we’ve been adopted—not as outsiders peeking in, but as members of God’s very household. This week, we’re not just watching the show.
We’re part of the cast.
Prayer Prompt:
God, help me see myself not as a spectator of your love, but as someone fully welcomed into your divine life. Teach me how to live as your child today. Amen.
Scripture: Romans 8:14–17
“For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God... you have received a spirit of adoption.”

Day 2: A Parent Who Stays
Scripture: Romans 8:15
Reflection:
For some, the image of God as Father brings warmth and stability. For others, it brings confusion, or even pain. Earthly fathers can fail. But the good news of the Trinity is that God is not limited to one role or human category. God is Parent—steadfast, nurturing, both strong and gentle.
God is the Parent who never leaves, never withholds love, and always makes room at the table. Whatever “father” means to you, God’s parenthood is deeper and more faithful than anything we’ve known.
Prayer Prompt:
Loving Parent, meet me in my story—whether joyful or painful. Help me to see you not through the lens of absence, but through the presence of your unwavering love. Amen.
Scripture: Romans 8:15
“When we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God.”

Day 3: The Gospel in a Kitchen
Scripture: Isaiah 66:13
Reflection:
Dr. Yolanda Adams once called her grandmother’s kitchen a “theological laboratory.” There, she said, she learned about love and ministry—baking pound cake with one hand, holding a Bible in the other.
God isn’t confined to fatherly metaphors. Scripture gives us images of God as mother, midwife, and caregiver. God’s love meets us in kitchens, in whispers, in flour-covered hands and sacred meals. God’s parenthood is not distant or controlling—it’s comforting and close.
Prayer Prompt:
God, expand my understanding of your love. Remind me that you are both tender and mighty—and that I bear your image in my capacity to love others. Amen.
Scripture: Isaiah 66:13
“As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you.”

Day 4: When God Moved In
Scripture: John 1:14
Reflection:
If God as Parent reminds us of God’s care around us, Jesus shows us God with us. God didn’t stay at a distance—God moved in. Jesus is the divine roommate, the God who eats with us, suffers with us, and shows us how to love in flesh-and-blood ways.
Jesus isn’t just our Savior; he’s our model. He reminds us that divine love looks like humility, sacrifice, and service. Like Jack Tripper in the sitcom, he walks into every room with presence and personality—but unlike Jack in Three's Company, Jesus never fumbles the plot.
Prayer Prompt:
Jesus, thank you for coming close. Teach me to recognize you in the ordinary and to follow your pattern of humility and service in my own life. Amen.
Scripture: John 1:14
“And the Word became flesh and lived among us.”

Day 5: Seeing God in Others
Scripture: Matthew 25:40
Reflection:
People expected Jesus to come as a ruler, but he showed up as a servant. That changes everything. It means God’s presence shows up in smallness, in kindness, in service.
Jesus invites us to see the world through his eyes—to look for the image of God in the faces we often overlook. In a world obsessed with power, Jesus teaches us that grace hides in unexpected places.
Prayer Prompt:
God, help me see your image in others today, especially those who are easy to ignore. Give me a heart that reflects your compassion and grace. Amen.
Scripture: Matthew 25:40
“‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these... you did it to me.’”

Day 6: The Spirit’s Whisper
Scripture: John 16:13
Reflection:
If Jesus is God with us, the Spirit is God within us. The Holy Spirit is the whisper in your soul that reminds you of grace, challenges you to grow, and guides you when life feels upside down.
The Spirit is not an idea; the Spirit is a presence—quiet but persistent, invisible but unmistakable. Like a trusted roommate who knows when to speak and when to listen, the Spirit helps us live in sync with God's love.
Prayer Prompt:
Holy Spirit, speak into my heart today. Help me to listen. Guide my thoughts, my words, and my actions so they reflect your truth and love. Amen.
Scripture: John 16:13
“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth.”

Day 7: Roommates in God’s House
Scripture: Romans 8:17
Reflection:
So maybe the Trinity is a little like Three’s Company—three persons sharing one life in perfect relationship. But here’s the real twist: in God's house, there’s always room for one more.
You’ve been invited in—not as a visitor, but as family. Through the Spirit, you’ve been adopted. Through Christ, you’ve been shown the way. And through the Parent-heart of God, you are known and loved.
You are not an outsider. You are part of the story.
Prayer Prompt:
God, thank you for welcoming me into your life. Help me live like I belong to your household—a child of grace, a co-heir of hope, a builder of your kingdom. Amen.
Scripture: Romans 8:17
“If we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.”
