God desires that we return to Him (our first love) Rev 2:4 & Mk 12:30. This caused me to reflect on how He desires our union with Him for increase...increase in the likeness of Himself, increase in the fruit that reflects Him perfectly, increase in His virtue and glory. And that also caused me to reflect on how the Lord commands that we come out from those who are not of faith, who do not conform to the covenant and commandments of His Son, and be seprate--separated unto God, heart mind soul & strength....which speaks of "seclusion" (a previous w/k). For even as in the natural sense, a husband and wife seclude themselves, separate from the world, and come together for increase, so is the will of God for our souls to increase with the increase of God (Col 2:19). By one faith, in one accord, with one voice by one spirit, we are being knit together by the thread of Christ through prayer, reflection, and reciprocation, returning daily (heart, mind, soul, and strength) to our first love and the master craftsman of our souls who is daily purging and preparing us for our eternal destination in the bosom of our Father.
