About This Quote

Many people pray for the right partner but cease to pray for the right union. That they be one as Jesus and the Father are one and so experience the full measure of His joy in the relationship. All of us long to experience a close and loving relationship with God. We know that we want that kind of relationship with God and we wonder if He wants that kind of relationship with us.

The Bible tells us that both Jesus and the Father have a close relationship with each other. As one being, they appear as one person on earth. They can be together as one as they were before creation as two distinct beings who became one as a result of their love for each other.

In 2 Corinthians 13:14, Paul says: “The grace of our Lord overflows for you, providing spiritual gifts you didn't have before—so that Christ’s body can be built up until we become completely one, just as He is one.”
