Published by Recently I am studying ‘Song of Solomon’, a book from the Bible, and I came across a passage that really touched my heart and God started speaking to me through that word. The passage goes like this,
‘All night long on my bed I looked for the one my heart loves; I looked for him but did not find him. I will get up now and go about the city, through its streets and squares; I will search for the one my heart loves. So I looked for him but did not find him. The watchmen found me as they made their rounds in the city. “Have you seen the one my heart loves?” Scarcely had I passed them when I found the one my heart loves. I held him and would not let him go till I had brought him to my mother’s house, to the room of the one who conceived me.’ (Song of Solomon 3: 1-4)
I thought for a moment, ‘how deep is our love for our savior as a church?’ ‘How deep is my love for my beloved?’ I found FOUR very important questions that we should ask today in regards to our relationship with our beloved God.
Firstly, the lover says that she was looking for somebody for whom her heart loves. The question came to my mind, ‘do I reckon my God as somebody for whom my heart loves?’
Secondly, the lover decided at once and got up immediately to search for her beloved. ‘Am I quick enough to seek my beloved?‘
Thirdly, the time mentioned in the passage was night time. She was neither time bound nor worried about the dangers which she can come across at that hour of time. She just went out alone to search. I asked myself, ‘am I that passionate to search my beloved?’
Fourthly, she held her beloved till she brings him into her home. ‘Do I cling unto Him when I find Him?‘
Her dedication brought her lover back. Am I that dedicated and devoted to seek the countenance of my God? Am I abiding to myself with His word? Even another thought struck me, that when somebody who doesn’t know God at all but searches for Him, God sees that passion in him / her before He shows Himself up. I thank God for this wonderful teaching that I got through the word in regards to my relationship with my beloved God.
Very deep seeded and emotional feelings here. Great one!
Thanks Mrs. Heart. Thanks for that sweet comment. All these questions are for myself. I was analysing my relationships with my beloved God.
