"You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; ..."
The idea that we as believers in Christ can have such an intimate relationship with God sends my imagination spinning. What woman doesn't want to know that someone has heightened emotion for her such as is written in the Song of Songs - the most romantic chapter of the Bible by far. Taken at face value it is a heart rushing dialogue. Seen in terms of the Church being the Bride of Christ, it takes on a loftier tone - the most loving possible. Whose love has ever compared to God's? As a part of Christ's body, we are recipients of that love. As such recipients, isn't the poetic verse meant to put Gods love for us in yet another vision? We are loved by God in every way possible. HE holds nothing back from us if we will only open our body, heart, mind and soul to HIM before anyone or anything else. We are permitted to read the beauty of the words in the Song of Songs as if God Himself is caressing us with the sweetness of HIS breath. Help us Holy Spirit be open in every way to the experiences God wants for us each day. I pray all in the name of Jesus ----- Selah
