Is Jesus Christ her Lord! That goes both ways. God is the builder of the people of God into one body in and through the Lord Jesus Christ and The church as a body is committed and owing life and allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ. God's purpose in love upon the earth is specific and directed. It is in and through the Church that God shows and showers His specific and directive love upon His people. Like the water that goes to the vines on the plant through the one medium of the root system. God has His directive means of nutrifying and delivering sustenance to His people in and through the Church.
I really don't think that we meditate on God's specific means of showing love enough. In life God lends us human love inside covenantal relationships. Safe and sustaining means of meeting the real human need of relationship. When we take those relationships outside of the heated oven of the covenants where God has placed them we are apt to get burned. In the Church God has given victory and liberty to love and be loved and war against the sins and difficulties that encroach. God help us to enter into the name of the Lord as a strong tower and find that victory that has been given to the Church in that one mighty foundation.
