To be the Bride is to know Christ.
The bride of Christ loses self to become closer to Christ. The goal is to become oneness with Christ.
The humble and meek are on their way to becoming a bride of Christ. On earth they are seen but not seen, they are partially hidden in Christ. Total humility and poverty of self leads a person to know Christ. We no longer hear our thoughts about self, but only Christ and God.
The bride's vacating self (anonymity) for Christ has been replaced with Christ's Glory and Grace from God. The bride has become God's-will for his Son Jesus Christ. Perfect Love.
Perfect love, perfect joy, is to be filled with Christ. Filled with God, Holy Spirit, Truth, Word of God.
Let go, let God.
