This might be a little short but i woke up with this and i think it works.
Our God is a god of giving. He lavishes his love and kindness. He gives us everything. Even every spiritual blessing he gave to Christ, Eph 1:3. When i woke up this morning though, i thought,"what if God serves himself?"
Now i know that the concept of the trinity is a tricky idea to wrap a finite head around but if i look at the attributes that only individual parts of the trinity posses it makes me think that they are shared or given to one another. for example, the holy spirit is omnipresent but not necessarily all knowing. However the spirit knows our needs and provides for us in our troubles. How? because the father and the Son give the knowledge needed. The whole system seems like a kind of symbiotic relationship to me.
Now this does not mean that all three are separate Gods but that each part of the trinity works together under one consciousness of God.
I think this would have to be a necessity for an all-knowing-powerful-loving God because it allows God to worship himself without idolizing and creating deadly pride. I think that God can look at himself and say, " boy my spirit and my son work so hard they are worthy of praise." with the other two saying the same thing. This interesting system creates a God that can be humbled in his own presence while still having the infinite power that could rip apart any normal singular spirit.
In conclusion, God is in the perfect relationship of worship and service. He serves himself because he loves himself and that love is now directed towards us in the Son that he gave. His power is amazing and his love is unbounded. He is a good God and he shows us that everyday through his service to us by serving himself.
p.s. please double check everything that i have said and be quick to point out my mistakes. I would rather have you point out my mistakes than have a millstone around my neck.

looking for fire
I'm looking for fire, a new one. I think i may have misplaced my old one. i'm in a state of undiscovered limbo when the crutches are taken away and the doctor finally says, "go and walk". I'm stumbling now and my lack of equilibrium has me uneasy and vulnerable.
My frailty that comes from a new molt has let me hear a new taunt. "You can be just as moral and good without God". I wish i could stop the enemy's volleys.I wish i could go back to when i was so close to my God that i could feel his warmth.But my orbit around him has shot me past an apex and is now leading me into a distance filled with past cold habits.
It is now my duty to offset my trajectory for a collision course with the epitome of my life.
I need to reach out and not lean back on my belayer's rope. I need to climb and race to the top.The only problem with that plan requires much work.
Work is hard. Discipline is harder. both work in tandem to create success. Neither exist at all without passion. That is what i need. A fiery passion for God. I need to learn how to light it. And soon.
God seems to have a way with me by releasing his grasp just enough to let me have to hold tighter.
So God help me find the torch inside me so that i can hold it high and say, "Here is the light to everyone's path. Come and i will show you how it works."
