There came a time where she was no longer like a lamb, but a bride for Him. His warrior princess in the making. In this time, she met Him down the aisle, at the Heavenly altar before the Father. Her heart rejoices in the presence of her Lion, who was there with her through many trials.

As He gazes at her with eternal love, He celebrates how refined she's become: "Here you are, dressed likes the stars, I rejoice because of how far you've come. I saw you trudged through the valleys of despair and the swamps of a sinking paradise.

I saw the hands of death try to snatch you from Me with cherry-coated lies, but not one hair of yours was touched. Yes, I heard your cries for Me. Then I watched you learn what true strength is. Despite the countless attempts to pull you under, you did not cave in. You held onto My sword, the reminder of My love for you. You clenched onto the shield—the faith that did not die, despite those times when it was thin.

You kept your eyes on Me, your Valor and Victor. You needed no knight in shining armor, just only everything I promised and showed you I AM.
I AM the Lion who has never lost a battle.
I AM the Mighty King who has put to shame even earth's greatest king.
I AM love unconditionally and eternally.
I AM wrath against those who rise up against Me and oppressed My sheep.
I AM the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for you in a heartbeat.
I AM your True Love who has longed for you to be with Me.

Now here you are, My love, so beautiful in your crown of glory, your reward for perseverance through tribulation. For you held onto your ring in My absence, though I was always with you. For not many are as faithful in the betrothal, quickly becoming entangled like fresh roses immediately swallowed up by thorns. But blessed is His bride, for she remained true, as I have been all this time to you.

Yes, here you are, wrapped in silk, satin, and gold. You are more precious than the finest ruby.
Yes, more precious than the rarest emerald. Even your hair falls around your face like lace and tulle.
Behold, My love, your beauty!"

And so, the Lion and His princess were separated no more.
Together they lived in the Land of Forevermore.
