For the Daughter of God

I found this excerpt quite inspiring and think women will appreciate it:

Together with her Bridegroom [the Bride of Christ] builds the Kingdom of Heaven, the kingdom of life, of radiance and joy. Having been called to His side, she is taken up into His life. She let herself be called away from everything else, that she might go through life at the side of Him who has become her All, and so she does not have to rely upon herself. She need to calculate her talents, abilities, and personality. She does not need to consider what is available and what is possible. She has only to reckon with Him, the power of His love. Jesus, the Source of Life for all men, is the Fire of God, the Sun of the whole world, the Hearth of love. Will He not inflame the heart of His bride as well?

-Basilea Schlink, "Bridal Love--A Consuming fire," My All for Him
