Beloved, our love is gently entwined,
Like the branches and the vine.

Embracing and winding in a wondrous way,
As dew drops of divine life dance and play.

I Am the fiery flame.
The abiding light that shall not wane.

Drink deeply--
Give freely!

Angel's wisdom do you seek?
Listen then carefully as I speak.

For out of the deep I clearly unfold majestic mysteries,
Not speaking in the dark clouded parables of history.

Joseph was a dreamer of dreams but had to wait,
Yet to Daniel was given Nebuchadnezzar's fate.

My bride is adorned in heaven's splendid array,
Ophir's costly strands of gold she collects in this day.

Evermore drinking from the well that never runs dry,
Nor money needed wisdom to buy.

"Forget your tribe and home, my daughter,
For a king desires your love." (Psalm 45.12)

Silver threads of redemption are interwoven into the garments of the redeemed.
Whereas, strands of gold, the gold of Ophir, 
are gradually and progressively interwoven as one overcomes
trials, afflictions and vigorous testing.

For this very purpose, the Apostle Paul exhorted all believers
to endure the race and run as to win the prize.
The quantity of gold thread, godly character,
obtained by journey's end determines the crown.

Therefore, encourage your heart in the midst of fiery trials.
Vigorously press on toward the eternal reward that lies ahead.
Tenacious faith will defeat the enemy of your soul,
and overthrow all attempts to turn you aside.

Swiftly hurdle every beguiling stumbling block in your path,
while keeping your eyes firmly fixed on the prize;
as I have given you power to trample underfoot serpents and scorpions.
Those abiding in Me are victorious over all the strategies of the adversary.

My grace ever abounds to those branches 
firmly fixed in the vine.
These are the recipients of resurrection dominion,
 as they draw deeply from their eternal source. 

In My rest victory resides,
thus guard against striving and self-effort,
and reconnect with the vine,
for apart from Me you can not yield spiritual fruit.

Bear in mind, disconnection invariably culminates in downfall, (Prov 14:12)
whereas a heart beating in union with Mine
receives a continual release of divine vitality, power,
and overcoming strength.

Everything birthed and originated in Me,
we will complete as one.
Consider: every trial offers a prize--
A golden thread for the wise.
