SOS 1, again

I find it interesting that God draws us out in interaction with Himself. He is complete in Himself. He is triune and needs not interact with anyone or anything, but there is a love interaction, that is imaged in the marriage; which is true between Christ and His worshipping Church. How can we be said to be a part of the redeemed, if we do not worship God with our lips? If we cannot pour upon Him, who alone is worthy words of adoration as a body of believers; what are we doing when we gather.
In SOS, there is clearly complimenting and extoling of the loving couple's attributes to one another.
It is just adorable, to see a young couple; whose eyes are still clouded so by love that they have not adjusted to the real picture of eachother. God created such love. A love that sees the purity and beauty of the other. God showers that type of love upon His church and when an intruder or invader comes to accuse Christ's church to the Father, our advocate rises in His love and casts down those accusation, in the beauty of a pure and chaste and driven love. He doesn't coddle sin and in His purity, He cleanses, but in the presence of the accuser, He defends.
Oh Love! God's pure and chaste Agape and Victorious Love to His Church can only be responded to, by glorious halleluia's and lavishing words of adoration upon His precious acceptance of us and defense of us on this earth.
He loves us individually and personally changes us from sinner into "the beloved". But, His real and true defense is for His Church.
"Who will lay anything to the charge of God's elect?..."


Our defense should be likewise. "For Her my tears shall fall...For Her my prayers ascend." When we pray, is it for the glory of God revealed in His Church? Or is it for our own devises and sandcastles upon the earth? Bless me and mine we pray and we are truly blessed. But how much more are we in communion with the continuous prayers of Christ in Heaven, when we are praying for the building of His Kingdom and for His members in particular.
"And unconstrained, His Homage Pay!"
On earth, for now, that is what we are striving for. To show our adoration to our Beloved, until the consummation of the age.
