Souls that love truth and God, that long with much hope and faith to put on Christ completely, do not need so much to be put in re membrance by others, nor do they endure, even for a while, to be deprived of the heavenly desire and of passionate affection to the Lord; but being wholly and entirely nailed to the cross of Christ, they perceive in themselves day by day a sense of spiritual advance towards the spiritual Bridegroom.
St. Macarius the Great
That Bridegroom is for real... may i too learn to be wholly nailed to the cross of Christ that i may also be wholly risen as He is... "abide in Me, for here is safety, for here is life, for here is love, for here is freedom" I hear the voice of my Beloved speaking over me..." remain in Me for there is safety... for there I will cover you"
Man, how i love the Living breathing God who came and made the Way... who betrothed me to Himself... who calls me His own that i too may call Him my own... i am my Beloveds and His desire is towards me... this is a perfect mystery that i may be one with my Maker... such a beautiful BEAUTIFUL reality.
Today i smile, knowing my Maker loves me and has called me His own, beloved, and i now am a daughter of the Most High Living God the Holy One He has called me His own. 8)
