A Beautiful Quote . . .

"He is the Lily, but His beloved is like He, for He applies His own chosen emblem to her--'As the lily among thorns, so is My love among the daughters.' Notice that He is the lily and she is as the lily--that is to say, He has the beauty and she reflects it! She is comely in His comeliness which He puts on her. If any soul has any such beauty as is described here, Christ has endowed that beloved soul with all its wealth of charms, for in ourselves we are deformed and defiled! . . . There is no beauty in any of us but what our Lord has worked in us."

~ C.H Spurgeon
