There is neither distinction in God nor in the Persons of the Trinity according to the unity of their nature. The divine nature is one, and each Person is both One and the same One as God's nature. Meister Eckhart. On the Noble Man
The One descends into everything and into each single thing, yet remaining the One that unites what is distinct. Meister Eckhart. "Sermon LW XXIX."
God ... is the being of all beings. Meister Eckhart. "Sermon LW XXIX."
28For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
*Acts 17.28, KJV
I kneel in prayer to the Father. All beings in heaven and on earth receive their life from him. God is wonderful and glorious. I pray that his Spirit will make you become strong followers.
*Ephesians 3.14-16, CEV
