We need to consider something of really drawing near to God. That is the first step. We do not need to be worried or concerned or troubled about the various aspects of the fulfilment. We can trust God for that, if we function correctly. We can learn to so center, so trust, that we can function in the substitute factors that are necessary to us for the time being, and we can help others to do so with understanding, moving constantly toward the reality of the divine design. And to achieve this we need to draw near unto God.

We need to draw near unto God. But, why should we keep on playing hard to get with God? You know, we're not dealing with an ordinary man. We are dealing with God. We can trust Him. We can just open our hearts to Him and say, “Lord, here I am.” Why play hard to get? Why not be honest with Him? In our body here, in the outer sense, the body of mankind is supposed to be the bride, and to make herself ready for the bridegroom, ready to receive the positive reality of God into manifestation, into the body. If we are being received by God, then we must receive God into ourselves—union, the reality of union.

And once we begin to see that, and accept the beauty and the wonder of God's design on that basis, we do not confuse sex and imagine it is just the physical relationships of physical bodies. The physical relationship, the physical body, can have its part and place, but it is more than that. It is God in action in us. And once we begin to truly reach that point, of accepting the reality of union with God, we can use those heavenly names, accepting that which God is giving, answering the love call of our God. And for the centering there is the realization that we are responding, yielding to Jesu, letting go to the Centering of Jehovah—Jesu, the Centering on earth of Jehovah—until we begin to know the reality of God in action here below, the beauty and the wonder of it.

Did you ever relax in the Secret Place of the Most High and simply say, “Lord, here I am”? If any of you have ever been what is called “being in love,” did you ever get tired of hearing your love say, “I love you”? The word was always new, always fresh. Do you think the Lord is going to get tired of hearing you say, “Lord, I love you”; “Lord, here I am”; “My Lord, I love you”? How about functioning the way a true bride would, and yielding to the LORD our KING? How about drawing near unto Him and receiving Him into ourselves, that we might begin to know the wonder and the beauty and the glory of the divine design on earth, something so sacred, so sweet, so unspeakably glorious, that we cannot paint it in words? We can say something about it, but if we would know it we must yield to it and let it be a reality in us here and now. So let's do something about it. Our LORD has offered His love for so long. Why put it off? Why play hard to get? Why say, “You will have to do all the work, Lord. If you are ever to get me you are sure going to have to work for it”? Why not make it easy? Why not yield to Him and serve Him? Why not be a part of the Body of God on earth?
