a warring bride...

I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. 2 Corinthians 11:2

“The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name” (Ex. 15:3).

The Lord, my warrior, my husband fought for me... he fought through the turmoils of this world and has gone to eternity and back to fight for me...

Sometimes I ask myself why? why would the God of heaven and earth fight for me, really... I am not the 'greatest' at anything and I spend more time flat on my buttocks than I do standing... I ask myself why?

And then, the love that surpasses understanding envelopes my heart and calms the storms of my heart and I know why... its about a love affair that my mind cannot comprehend, it is about taking the least of these (me) and bringing me into my destiny... a warring bride of Christ... it seems impossible to me - but what seems impossible to man is more than possible for the master creator!

I will buckle my boots, put on the gown he has given me, pick up my sword - and add my tiara... I will fight the battles set before me... even though they seem so numerous... I know I will prevail if I just set my heart in Papa's gentle hands... I am already victorious - its time to remind someone of that!

(for all who read... this princess could use some prayers these days... smiles-thanks)
