• The King has said, "Thou art fair," and in response to His "Thou art" she can rightly say "I am." "I am the rose of Sharon." Faith expresses what grace has made her in His sight - fragrant as a rose and beautiful as a lily of the valleys. Not a lily in some crowded city for the admiration of the world, but a lily for the Bridegroom's delight in some secluded valley. (“Canticle 1: The Assurance of Love” by H. Smith)
