The Lion and the Lamb

 

"I will not leave you alone.  You are mine.  I know each of my sheep by name.  You belong to me. If you think I am finished with you, if you think I am a small god that you can keep at a safe distance, I will pounce upon you like a roaring lion, tear you to pieces, rip you to shreds, and break every bone in your body.

Then I will mend you,  cradle you in my arms, and speak words of comfort in your healing."
