In the cool morning God sat on His throne and commanded His angel, "Go down and bring her home to me." She smiled and closed her eyes knowing "Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me on that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing."
