0 My Bride, My Beloved:
I have betrothed
thee unto Myself. Yea, I have given thee a special token of our relationship
and our future union, for I have sealed thee with My precious Holy Spirit; and
ye shall be - Mine, saith the Lord, in that day when I make up My jewels, and
ye shall be as a diadem upon My brow, yea, My crowning glory.
For I shall reign over kings and nations and peoples,
yea, I shall be ruler over all the earth; but ye shall have a special place of
honor, for thou art My prize possession. As it is written, having shared My
agony, ye shall that day share My glory; having born for Me the cross, ye shall
then share with Me the throne. (Know ye not ye shall even judge angels?)
Rejoice now, that ye have been
chosen out and counted worthy to suffer for My sake. We share one common
destiny, and we walk one single path. At this present time, it may hold sorrow
and isolation; but cheer thine heart with the raptures that lie ahead. Some
live now in the revelries and riches of this present world who shall that day
be mourners and paupers. Will ye exchange places? Would ye desert Me now and be
rejected then? Would ye ignore Me now, and be in that day rejected by Me?
Nay, ye would not! Rather, ye will do as Paul: ye will
glory in the midst of suffering and affliction, because ye know these things
shall in that day be counter-balanced by an exceedingly greater portion of joy.
(weight of glory)
Frances J. Roberts, Come Away My Beloved
