...our battle

http://youtu.be/e6uSLUnfna8

My heart and soul are very stirred yet again today...

Where is this Warrior Bride?  Where is this one who is so marked by love, innocence, purity and kindness?

Answer...she is still in training.  She is the Snow White character (Kristen Stewart) from the movie.  She is being raised up through hardship: locked in a tower, bitterly chided, walking the road less traveled, facing adversity, having to learn forgiveness, tenderness, compassion, purity, and love in her journey toward intimacy and identity.  She doesn't yet know that she is the love-sick, warrior bride.  But identity is beginning to settle over her.

And all the heartaches and hardships are beginning to reveal a beauty that could only come from perseverance and brokenness.

What is the TRUE response of our heart, as created in the image of the Invisible?  LOVE!!!

As intolerance rages against intolerance, LOVE will overcome.  The tender and compassionate stare of the Bride will set things right.  The kind touch of love (that looks to the heart and is not offended by the sin of another) will set things right.

Love will set things right!
