Bride Defiled

Bride Defiled is a story that epitomizes the notion of unrequited love. The Lover voluntarily bestows the deepest level of desire and affection for someone who feels the most undeserving of it. The Beloved is bewildered because the love is unsolicited. The Beloved is puzzled as to the election and finds him or herself incapable of reciprocating the corresponding passion. How can a man of means and pedigree choose for his wife a known prostitute who would be undesirable to the vilest of debauched men? Somehow within societies, men are expected to sow a few wild oats before settling down and marrying the woman of their dreams. Rarely if ever is this designation afforded to a woman who desires to become a wife. Who, in good conscience and faith would choose such a woman to marry and look forward to her bearing children to his posterity? Bride Defiled is a story of a clergyman's choice to marry this type of woman among all the preferred women in the land. The story challenges one to reassess the criteria and value that imperfect men place on the indiscretions of a woman's proclivities and how she is viewed and treated by the Ultimate Bridegroom in Earth-The Church. Does this woman deserve to become anyone's Bride? Why or why not? What is to be gained by extending grace to this undeserving soul. As you read the story of unrequited love, may you experience some mind renewal and heart transformation because of divine unmerited favor. Bride Defiled invites everyone to view this precious gift that includes forgiveness through a divine prism and not with the jaundiced eyes of flawed mankind.
