What does the Bible say about God's desire for His people?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible indicates that God has a continual desire for His redeemed, demonstrated through His acts of love and grace.

In Scripture, God's desire for His people is vividly expressed as a longing for intimate fellowship with them. The phrase from Song of Solomon 7:10, "I am my beloved's, and his desire is towards me," encapsulates this divine affection. God’s desire is not merely a passive wish; it is a profound commitment to actively seek the hearts of His people. Throughout the Bible, we see this theme: even when humanity fell into sin, God's desire was to quicken them into life through His grace and ultimately redeem them through the sacrifice of Christ (Ephesians 1:4-5). The Holy Spirit's anointing signifies God's continual work to draw us to Himself, affirming that His covenant love remains steadfast despite our shortcomings.
