RADICAL LOVE



          the Holy Spirit—to go where He goes, do what He does, and say what

          He says.

          As we reach the end of this journey, I urge you to meditate on and digest

          these  words,  taken  from  an  excerpt  from  Bible  Studies  for  the
          Preparation of the Bride:


          Clothed in fine linen, bright and clean—without spot or wrinkle—the

          Bride, the Wife of the Lamb, has made herself ready. She has submitted
          every spot in her life to the washing of the water of the Word. She has

          diligently given her mind to meditating on the Word, day and night. She
          has  kept  it  from  everything  that  would  defile  it;  therefore,  she  has

          become as clear as crystal and as transparent as glass. She has kept

          herself with undistracted devotion to the Lord so that she might be holy
          and chaste in body and spirit for her heavenly Bridegroom. All her

          strength and energies have been spent for Him and for His Kingdom.
          For she knew her destiny: to become His wife. She knew she was to be

          the tabernacle of God, that He might dwell through her among men.
          She has given her life to Him as a living and holy sacrifice. She has

          denied herself—she has given her all. As Paul, she has counted all

          things lost as dung for the great privilege of knowing and loving Him.

          Because her heart is solely anchored in Him, there her treasure is also.

          Therefore, she can be satisfied with nothing less than to be with Him
          throughout eternity.
