"Consider Cornelia, a woman imprisoned in a work camp in Romania during the hard years of Communist occupation. One night, being too tired to undress, she fell exhausted on her bed and immediately went to sleep. She began to dream of a beautiful field full of flowers. There was a soft humming sound made by the bees. And there were clouds of butterflies, all glittering with color, coming toward her. Above all, she smelled the sweet fragrance of lily of the valley, her favorite flower. Then a woman with gentle eyes came toward her, gently looking into her heart. She was carrying a bouquet of lily of the valley, and placed it in Cornelia’s hands. At that moment Cornelia heard a man’s strong, clear voice speaking words from Song of Solomon: “As the lily among the thorns, so is my love among the daughters.” Then she awoke and realized she was still in the camp and that the guards were still in the hall outside her door. But she said that when those guards banged on her bedrails at five in the morning she went to work in the quarries while dancing in her soul. The fragrance of flowers was still in her nostrils, the sight of the field and the woman was still in her mind. She knew God was with her." After all, He had prepared a table for her in the midst of her enemies.
