This morning things were clearer than ever. It is with much joy that I share with you today's insights just before departing for a festive lunch and time with my friends Harriet and Spring. Please keep Spring in your "thoughts". She is a dear friend to me, and tonight we will spend time enjoying a festive meal with her co-workers and singing karaoke. I am excited for this opportunity to be with her and her co-workers.
Chapter 4 of SOS is such a statement of the Beloved's love for his bride. It is the same for us. Papa truly loves the Bride. I know in other parts of the Good Book that it says that Papa speaks good words over us. That is very clearly done here. My favorite part are verses 9-10. Can Papa say the same about us? Do we not just please but ravish (good word) his heart? I sure hope so ... and if not, then I want to change to do so! Simply put, almost all of this chapter is just the Beloved expressing to his bride, the Shulamite, how much he loves her. In the end (verse 16), the changes within the Shulamite can be seen more. She knows that she is loved now; however, she doesn't just long to be loved but also longs to show her Beloved how much she loves him. That needs to be our heart too ... longing with fervent eagerness to both express and show our love to the KING.
You guys have a good day. Miss yall and love you all. :)
