The second identity that helps us host God’s Presence well is the ache of the Bride. 

All throughout Scripture the Bible gives us marriage as a picture of God’s desire for humanity and humanity’s need for God. The ache of the Bride is a strategic gift from the Holy Spirit to reveal our need for Jesus in a way that causes us to cry out for Him. We must empty ourselves of all other loves and illusions so that we may be filled with His love and His fire. 

God goes where He’s wanted. We’re praying that this desire for Him will become a service to our town and that people will be drawn into real life with Him as a result.
