Christians: Who comes to your mind when you hear the word "God"

When I hear the word "God", I think about God the Father and not Jesus or Holy Spirit. While as a faithful Orthodox Christian, I do believe that, God the Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit are the same, its been God the Father for me, when I hear the word "God".
So fellow Christians, is it any different for you?

That's actually the same for me and always has been. :)

Yup, I'm the same.
Whenever someone talks about God, I always think of the Father alone, Even though I'm a Trinitarian.

It depends. Sometimes I think of the Father, sometimes I think of the Son, sometimes I think of the Spirit. If I had to put percentages on it, I'd say 50% the Father, 30% the Son, 20% the Spirit. It does depend on which context; for example, when it comes to God dwelling within us, I automatically think of the Spirit. When I think about God walking with us and teaching us, guiding us, revealing our sins, forgiving us, healing us, and being Lord and Master, I think of Christ. When I think of God loving us, I think of the Son. When I think of God guiding us, I think of Christ leading way and the hand of the Father on our backs. When I think of lifting my prayer to Heaven, or anything related to God in Heaven, it is the Father that comes to mind. When it comes to God's blessings, rewards or punishments, I think of the Father.

The way I think of God has been grown a lot. These days I think of God as conditional love, like the Sun that radiates its light and I feel like an empty room without a roof and receiving the spirit of God unconditionally. Or like the Moon that receives the light from the Sun. The Son is for me the wisdom of God which reveals me what my real nature is, which I see in the mirror of God. so my experience of God is more or less trinitarian.
 
I think of God, Jehovah (Yahweh) and even when I was a Catholic, it was the same. I never believed that God was a mysterious trinity.

My belief in one true God always directs me to Jehovah the Father.

But i also recognise that 'god' as a word could mean a host of many other so-called gods. For example, the bible calls Satan the 'god of this world'. It also calls angels 'gods' and it says the isrealites are called 'gods' and Jesus is called a Mighty god in the book of Isaiah.


So it really depends on the context.

I think of no person. God is a spirit. So if I had to choose just one I'd have to go with The Holy Spirit. God is pure righteousness. Jesus left us with tons of confusion. He is not God. YHVH who is Father is unpredicable. The Spirit OF GOD is PURE. That is what I think of "God"; pure righteousness. Holy Spirit.
