The warrior Bride of Christ: Immersed, saturated, 'roasted and toasted', baptized and 'deep fried' into the death of Christ, to be resurrected into His unbridled, selfless Love. Love is patient and kind: Love is also gutsy and courageous and does not consider itself - only Christ and what He values. Love carries no bondage nor oppression, but only desires to set the captive free. Love is a unifier, but also a divider, for she draws a clear line between good and evil. Those who follow Love serve the One Lord and Master Jesus Christ, who is Love. Love considers nether size nor strength; she does not count the odds against her, nor fear the darkness for GOD IS LIGHT; in Him there is no darkness, nor shadow of turning. Love does not retreat in the face of evil, but presses on, in the knowledge that the God whom she serves has defeated all evil; She is driven by the heart's desire of Jesus Christ Himself. She is of one mind and heart with Him, only seeking to please Him. Love fears neither death nor the grave for Jesus Christ has conquered both. His perfect Love drives out all fear: His banner over His Bride is Love. The world would follow 'hate' but the Warrior Bride of Christ follows the King's banner of Love - her weapons of warfare are rooted in His Love. In the war between Love and hate, the Love of Jesus will ALWAYS win because His Love Never Fails.
Oh wow, Reading it again it’s even more relevant now! How far away I seem from that warrior bride, but I know he’s not done with the shaking yet!
