Father, Son, Bride - a unique dynamic

God the Father loves His Son and is looking for a bride that will love Him with the same love. God gives us His love not only so that we know we are loved by Him but also in order that we can love His Son with the same love, with the very love of God. A kind of love that, in our natural state, we would never be capable of. That we can love Him with the same fire, passion and desire that the Father has toward Him. He finds us a suitable partner, a suitable bride for the Son that He loves so much.
At the same time, Jesus Himself finds us so desirable that He has chosen us as the one He will present to the Father as His bride. The one He can stand before the throne with and say "Father, here is the bride I have chosen to be by my side forever, to rule and reign with me over our kingdom!"

Oh, the delight, desire and love God has for us!
It blows my mind.
The entirety of His being resonates with a deep longing for us!
It is only right that we respond. That we go after Him with a wholeheartedness not given to anything else in our lives.
That we are obsessed with Him. That our lives are given in an endeavor to make ourselves ready for the day of the Bridegroom's return, given to the preparation of a bride for her wedding day.
The day of His heart's desire. The day He finally gets to be with us.
Create in us a burning for that day, an unquenchable thirst and passion for our marriage to the Lamb!

Thank you for choosing us God! Thank you for desiring us! Thank you for loving us!
