Meditation ~ Christ as Bridegroom

God as eternal spouse? Heaven as Wedding Feast? Christ as Bridegroom?

The truth revealed last to the heart…..

First, God is Father. Through simple “yes” and “no” commandments, God helps us to begin to die to sin. Yet, the human heart, at root, is an organ of desire. No amount of “being good," i.e. self-denial and suffering, will satisfy it.

Until we see God as the one who not only teaches and cares for us, but satisfies our deepest desires, we will place those desires on something else. We will be miserable, for everything else is flawed, finite, and in decay.

The heart wants what it wants...

May that be God!
