Now That Is Love!

The Following is From the Forerunner Meditations
Before the beginning of time, before the foundations of the world were laid, the eternal Godhead deeply enjoyed the communion and fellowship that existed within Themselves. Within their intimate fellowship with each other, each part of the Godhead felt and experienced the eternal longings of the others. It became the purpose of each member of the Godhead to , in love, serve and fulfill the desires of each other's heart. Thus the eternal purpose of God was born. Whatever the cost, love would pay any price to fulfill these eternal longings.
As the Son and the Holy Spirit communed with the Father, one primary longing was felt and experienced; the Father's heart burned with desire for a large family of sons and daughters upon whom He could lavish His love. He longed to forever share His heart, throne and home with these sons and daughters, surrounding them with His glory and beauty. To express this desire for sons and daughters, He issued forth an eternal call in hope, saying, "I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty (2 Cor.6:18)."
Because of their immeasurable love for the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit were willing to empower the human race from within to respond to that call; the Father's desire for sons and daughters would be fulfilled. God the Son would take upon human flesh revealing the Father's heart and love to mankind, and destroying that which would hinder the Father's love. The Holy Spirit would dwell within human flesh, awakening a cry within the human heart to know God intimately as Father. Their love would see to it that millions of men and women would love and honor the Father the way They Themselves loved and adored Him. Now mankind would be empowered to walk in an identity beyond that which they could ask, or think, or even imagine.
Man would now be given the ultimate right and privilege to be called the sons and daughters of the living God.
