The Trinity, Truth, and Spirituality

by Tonya Wilson

Many times, we observe the shapes and symbols of this piece called The Trinity, Truth, and Spirituality.  Let’s delve into the deeper meaning of these shapes in our life.

The Triangle in the center of the picture refers to the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.  If we keep this in our heart, the center of our body, we can live a life full of promise and joy.  The presence of this symbol reminds us that our faith in the Holy Trinity should be the centerpiece of our life.

The Square on the outer edge of the triangle symbolizes our earthly life.  A square represents truth by living a 4 square life.  The square is composed of all equal parts, the sides are all the exact same measure, and each corner of the square is a perfect 90° angle.  If we live by the guidelines, to always be truthful and honest, we are living life on the square, for the square represents a perfect truth.

The Circle represents the never-ending Eternal life we are given when we leave this world to rest in the presence of our Heavenly Father.  He sacrificed his son to give us this precious gift.  Our Spiritual life should encompass the triangle and square as we live on this Earth.  Through his perfect love, we can also become perfect and live eternally in our heavenly home.

The scroll work outside the circle, although beautiful and delicate, reminds us of the many twists and turns our life on earth takes.  As we look at the world around us, we can always see chaos, clutter, and winding roads.  We need to keep all this outside of our Spiritual Circle to live in the fullness of His peace.

As we gaze upon this picture, we notice the inner spaces in the triangle, square, and circle are pure and clear, just as our lives can be if we live by.
