I have heard this line many times, and never fully appreciated that within it is contained our entire relationship to God and our purpose in this world. All of mankind is feminine in relation to God, as per TOB. Masculine love in giving receives; feminine love in receiving gives. This is exactly what our relationship to God is-- the way that we love God is by receiving His love, by giving Him our yes as Mary did. So much spiritual stress can be released when one realizes that we do not need to DO anything for God to love us- and it is not by doing, but by receiving that we show Him our love. How sad for God to be up there, loving us and wishing to give us that love, but then having to watch us bouncing around like ping pong balls trying to do anything and everything to show our love for Him. How He must long to tell us "Be still and know that I am God. Let me love you! Receive my love!"
But we are gone too fast to hear His words.
