Only the bridegroom has the bride.
It is necessary that he increase but that I decrease.
---- mine,
Pay close attention to these words of John the Baptist. Let them penetrate deep into your soul. Ask My Holy Spirit to reveal to you what they mean, and let the truth, beauty, and joy of what they say resonate in you and bring you to a proper understanding of our relationship. I AM the Bridegroom of your soul, for I AM the Bridegroom of My Church. I AM its Head and you are members of My Body. You belong to Me, I have claimed you for Myself. You are Mine. Ponder the meaning of what the Words of Sacred Scripture are conveying to you today. Be still, listen to the Holy Spirit speaking, listen, understand, and rejoice. You are My bride. I have chosen you to be Mine. Give your whole being to Me completely, yield joyfully to Me, open yourself to receive every good and perfect gift that I will pour into your soul in full measure, pressed down, and running over. Be so filled with Me that there is no room for anything else or anyone else in your life. I desire to be your all-in-all. Ask and I will give you every grace, every spiritual help, every gift of the Holy Spirit so you can bloom, prosper, grow, and bear abundant good fruit for My glory and the glory of My Kingdom. Ponder with joy this truth: I AM the Bridegroom, you are My bride. Yes, you speak the truth when you respond, saying that you are a foolish, worthless creature, but you are Mine, and I raise you up, and I freely share with you all that is Mine. Nothing pleases Me more than to do this because I love you. Do not worry that you give Me so little in return, every day give Me the little that you can, but give it daily and slowly, but surely you will be giving Me all that I ask of you. Little by little, and day by day, be faithful in the little things that's all you need to do, and in time you will gain mastery over yourself by weeding out your imperfections and you will share in the victory and triumph I won for you over sin and death.
