God wants to espouse us. He wants to be united to us forever. He has adopted us as His sons and daughters and wants only the best for us. This is why He calls each of us to lives of righteousness and justice. This is why He pours His Divine Love and Mercy upon us... so we might accept that love and bear it into the world. He wants us to magnify His goodness through our good thoughts, words, and works. He wants us to be as faithful to Him as He is to us. He wants us to know, love, and serve Him as He knows, loves, and serves us. He doesn’t ask us to do anything for Him that He hasn’t already done for us. His is a perfect love that unites us as Christians and we should strive to come together with Him as our Heavenly Father, Brother, and Spouse.
Do we strive for righteousness and justice? Are we growing in love and mercy? How can we be more faithful to our Lord and God?
O Lord, be with us forever and ever.
Amen.
