"the lion of justice and the fair maid of hope"

"It seems to be one of the very principles of our enlightened nature to believe that God is just; we feel that it must be so, and this gives us our terror at first; but is it not marvelous that this very same belief that God is just, becomes afterwards the pillar of our confidence and peace!......My faith rests not upon what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, what he has done, and what he is now doing for me. On the lion of justice the fair maid of hope rides like a queen." ~Spurgeon, Morning and Evening
