Valorous

Bride of Christ“Who can find a 1virtuous wife?  For her worth is far above rubies.”  Proverbs 31:10

I, the Lord Jesus, am seeking and searching for a woman of 2valor.  I am looking for a woman with an 3excellent spirit who is pure in heart.  I desire a bride who is 4spotless, righteous and courageous.  I long for my wife to be my partner in all things, one who will stand and fight by my side.  Who can find such a woman?  Where can I find this bride of infinite 5inner beauty?  Surely her worth and value would far surpass 6precious stones, exquisite pearls and rare diamonds.  Such a bride would be a 7crown upon her husband’s head.  She would adorn me with great honor and splendor!  Who can find her?  Truly, my Father has promised to find and 8prepare a bride for me who even exceeds my desires – she will be everything I have longed for and more!  Indeed, I place such a high value on my bride that I would give up my very life for her sake.  My Father also will 9give everything for her and to her, that she may be mine for eternity.  I will find her, I will woo her, I will win her, I will betroth her to myself, and then on the day that my Father decides, I will at last marry her!
