“I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and gone. My soul failed me when he spoke. I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he gave no answer. I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him I am sick with love.”
Song of Solomon 5:6, 8 ESV
I love that God decided to place this passage on young love in the midst of Scripture. Of course it has some passionate imagery related to this married couple, but. It also points to the passion with which I should be pursuing Christ! Lord, help me to chase after You like the bride was searching through the city for her husband! I pray that my delight and attention could be naturally and singularly directed toward You!!!
