Random Post/ A Wife’s legacy?/ Warrior Faithful Prince 👑

 

Loved this tribute by William Booth to his wife: 

Beginning harvest! 

(Below is an excerpt from my Story the Price of a Princess…) 

And yes, I still dream about warrior and prince Faithful. (Sigh.)

👑 It doesn’t have to be story book perfect, or just like I’ve written, by I do value Faithfulness. 

Since it’s an allegory story, blue eyes represent Trust, loyalty, faithfulness, and dependability…. 

And then one day as she was battling in a war for souls trying to persuade and pull lost souls out of the fire with fear and compassion she noticed a Warrior-Prince fighting right beside her.

It appeared that he just came into her life simply out of nowhere.

She than began to watch him for the next couple of weeks. There was something different about him that wasn’t like all the other guys she had ever known. He wasn’t your “average Joe.” He wasn’t mediocre. He didn’t seek female approval or try to flirt with every girl who walked by. As a matter of fact, she noticed that he treated all girls with purity. His interactions with them were very limited and very guarded. He carried himself with the mindset that he was “already taken” by his future wife. 

She discreetly took notice that he was running right beside her in that crazy race of life! She watched him proclaim the gospel with a strong authoritative voice to a lost and dying world. She observed him getting beat, persecuted, and shamed, and than watched him rise up out of it, all the more ready to fight the fight of faith, and standing even stronger against the enemy. His testimony caused her to cry out before God with tears because she was so convicted by his willingness to lay down his life for his love (Jesus). He didn’t hold his life dear to himself. He hazarded his life for the name of Jesus Christ. He counted it a joy to suffer shame for His name, and he was clearly not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ!

She was further intrigued when she saw him seeking God for hours, praising her Beloved with all of his heart, seeking and saving that which is lost, studying God’s amazing words, loving lost souls, becoming a fool for Christ, not looking to please man but only to please Her Prince in all areas, unselfishly serving others above himself, loving his family, listening to her dad with attentiveness and a readiness of mind to learn more, encouraging the weak to get stronger, preaching the word of God, acting sober, portraying set-apart masculinity, and always humble enough to hear a rebuke or correction when needed. When she did see his radiant blue eyes for the first time she was struck by the fact that they were sparkling with the same dove-like LIGHT and lion-like PASSION that she’d only seen in her first Prince. They were not like the dull blue eyes of the nasty seducer who had stole her heart so long ago! This man was not a seducer or a flirt. He never tried to draw attention to himself but only continually pointed her back to her first love and Saviour-Jesus Christ. He was a true gentleman, and Princess Purity noticed that not only did he build his life around Jesus Christ but he also exuded her Prince’s amazing qualities! Whenever she was around this godly guy she was inspired to learn more about Jesus, fall all the more in love with her Prince, and to seek his heart even more. This guy was almost “too good to be true” and it was only because his life was that of hers: his life was Jesus. Yes, he wasn’t totally “perfect” but by God’s Spirit he was striving to reach perfection and was encouraging his sister in Christ to reach it as well. He treated her with all respect and purity. He was godly, pure, holy, Christ-like, amazing, humble, and a true “Warrior-Poet” just like her first love. Her heavenly Prince had named him “Warrior and Prince Faithful” and that explained him perfectly. 

Purity began to wonder if he could indeed be her future beloved Prince and so she began to earnestly pray and diligently seek her heavenly Prince’s will in this matter. She also talked to her parents (who had her heart and trust) for advice and much needed wisdom and counsel and they all committed it to diligent prayer and fasting. Purity and her parents held a high regard for this true man of God. 

Purity was unaware that Prince Faithful had taken notice of her as well. She had no idea of the high regard he was holding of her. He wasn’t just “physically” attracted to her though he noticed that her beauty was an out flow of her Saviour. He saw the light of Jesus just radiantly sparkling out of her hazel eyes and her very being with a lily whiteness that contrasted with the dark world so shockingly. His first attraction to her was her intense joy that reflected in her face, and her love, adoration, and sold out purity for her Prince. He noted her chaste conversation, modesty, shamefacedness, sobriety, and meek and quiet spirit. It was almost mysterious to him how she found a quiet joy in whatever she was doing. She was always serving someone or lending a helping hand with a smile on her face, she always seemed to be content, and she genuinely enjoyed her lot in life. Her servant’s heart inspired him to want to esteem others all the more as “better than himself” like the Bible said. He observed her seeking God with a diligence, weeping before God in prayer, praising him with all her heart, having a willingness to serve others, portraying a joy in serving her Saviour, and he watched her brokenness before God. He noticed and became very intrigued when he watched her doing what he loved to do: passionately proclaiming the gospel to the lost and dying world. He was almost beside himself with joy when he realized that he was not the only one who loved studying God’s words, praying for hours, encouraging others in the race, and becoming a fool for Christ. He watched how she lived sold out for Jesus, how she was so evidently head over heels in love with her Prince, and how she was in the world just not of it. He saw how she lived as if she was “already taken” by her future husband, and how she treated all guys with respect and purity. He began to really notice what a jewel and priceless virgin she was when he saw how she was waiting faithfully for her future husband even though everyone around her mocked her purity. He was almost shocked at himself for letting himself get discouraged in believing that there were no Pure Princesses out there that he could ever marry. He was seeing a living and breathing example of a beautiful, vibrant, and amazingly pure Princess right before his eyes!
