Love without blemish

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as He chose us in Him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before Him. In love He destined us for adoption to Himself through Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor of His will, for the praise of the glory of His grace that He granted us in the beloved." Ephesians 1:3-

God has chosen us to be holy and without blemish before even His perfection. And what is it that He has given us that we may achieve such a lofty calling? In love He destined us... With love He destined us to union with Himself and it is in love that we find the key to being adopted daughters and sons of our God. It is through being gifts that we find the meaning of being, through giving our lives that we find our souls. How much more so does this apply to the love between husband and wife? It is through being in love that we can lose our self and give all for the other. Through our sexuality we can find the path to being holy and without blemish. If you think this is a bold claim, something unfathomable, you must remember that He is at every moment blessing us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens-- all we need do is open to Him and our weaknesses become our strengths. It is this pure, passionate love which burns away imperfections.
