We need God, but He bids us to want Him!

God is love!
God loves His church like nothing else on the earth. He is such a devoted creator and devoted defender of His people and devoted tender of all of creation, but He reserves His special love for those who are in the beloved.
It is hard to imagine. Jesus tried to explain that to us in that He said that he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than John the Baptist. If you can cast your weak soul upon the mercies of Christ and throw your lot in with the redeemed: if you can give up your self reliance for the grace which the Lord provides and participate in the "love of the brethren" You are partaking in the greatest treasure on the earth. There is nothing greater. Love that is touched deeply by the hand of God.
We cannot imagine such a thing.
God has called the church His bride upon the earth and has promised provision protection and fellowship with her on this earth, as long as earth shall last. We are raptured in His presence, whenever we gather to worship and praise the creator and redeemer of our souls.
Let Him lead us with the Word of God that is the only earthly revelation that He has given. Let Him direct us and come in His presence in the praises of His people. He is glorious to devise such a humble way to commune, on earth with his fallen creation.

Holy Ghost dispel our sadness, pierce the dawn of sinful night...Great distributor of grace, grant us thine illumination. Hear, o hear our supplications

It can only come when we embrace our identity as His bride, the church and gather expectantly.
