This is the perfect time in history for us to recognize that the Divine has no gender. God just is, everything. I wake up to that every time you use "she" Jonas. thank you
Personally I see the Father and the Son as male and the Holy Spirit as female, but as one God they are truly both male and female. Also, if I read Genesis 1:27 correctly, Adam was first created as both male and female. It was only later that the female was taken from him. Herman de Waal
Yet God is like a mother hen or mother eagle, or a mother who grieves loss of her children. So, I get why you invoke the Feminine for God. But it grates on me when you toggle back and forth between M and F. God is consistently addressed as Father by his son Jesus. And the Psalmists consistently invoke him as Lord. Be consistent, that's all I ask.
