Goodness Rescued Her

Today, she crossed the River that kept her from a life where joy and peace prevail. Finally, she breathed deeply and calmly without hesitation or timidity, and she sat quietly without obligation to stay or go. She stood for righteousness in spite of the honeyed words of the antagonist,

Because today, she was taken by the greatest Storyteller ever known.

She loved discovering with Him the perfection in the unexpected and the adventure in an ordinary day. And as He shared His latest chapter, she could hardly hold back the giggles that swirled in her spirit. Neither could she turn her gaze from His face as He stared back with a smile on His countenance that lit up her own. Every lovely thing she once beheld faded beyond recall. She tilted her head back as laughter gushed from her core and flooded the atmosphere.

Exceptional.

Resplendent.

Holy.

Unchangeable.

Today, she looked into His eyes as He spoke without words. Tears streamed, a smile stretched from ear-to-ear, and nothing but cheers of adoration burst from her heart. His declarations were like a fiery sword, severing and mending, defining and purifying her blazing heart. 

She stood tall on her knees, preparing for His cue to turn the page, this time with a greater fondness and confidence in the goodness and stability of her favorite Author.

  

Today, she worshiped the One who would remain the greatest Author of her day, and forever.

Beauty called her. 

Covenant protected her.

Mystery pursued her. 

Goodness rescued her.
