has brought you to this place
Where you are totally abandoned to Me
You went through fire,
persecution and pain
Stood firm under the onslaughts of the enemy
You took your place in My kingdom
Often standing alone
Taking your place as my warrior bride
The enemy wouldn’t back off
Neither would you
For too long he stole what belong to Me
My armour your strength
The war cry on your lips,
pulling you through
Dancing your way through
every onslaught, coming your way
I was your safe place
in the midst of the storm
There were day’s you wanted to run
back to what was familiar
I wouldn’t let you
It made you strong
You clung to Me with your last breath
At times so drained,
but you never let go of My voice
Guiding you
Strengthening you
Cheering you on
At times you felt alone in the fight
My presence felt distant,
but you persevere
You knew you had to bring a sacrifice
that would cost you everything
It was worth all the frustration
It was worth all the unanswered questions
My love for you,
wouldn’t let you give up
You grew stronger day by day
Your eyes focused on the end goal
You couldn’t compromise,
you knew that it was a kingdom fight
That had to be won
Your obedience to Me was important
You couldn’t trade it for the opinions
of men
Many giants had to fall
You had to fight and give it your all
Generations struggled enough,
with ghosts of the past
Day by day you were battle ready
You wouldn’t go down
The cost was too high,
you fought with all your might
Gained ground in the kingdom
Left your mark in heaven and hell
Our journey of love test your obedience
Our journey of love exposed your heart
Limping and crawling you persevered
I can put you on display
As a vessel of honour
Displaying My heart
It’s time to take your place
My darling daughter
To gather the spoils
The grain and the oil
To do our wedding dance
I have found you faithful
In running this race
Joy will be your portion
My presence your rest
Forever we will be inseparable
Captivated by a love that could only be found
in a surrendered life
Totally dead to self,
but burning bright in Me
Our journey of love was worth all the detours
The highs and the lows
You are my warrior bride
Trained to win each fight with Me by your side
