A Song of Love


The greatest of songs (Songs of Solomon) draws us into an intimate love narrative with eternal consequences. The shepherdess-bride feels unworthy, tainted and desperate. The king-husband brings nothing but acceptance and love without condition.
He sees the depth of her beauty despite her own insecurity. He enjoys and dwells on her whole being with the choicest of imageries. He wants her with him – close, forever. Unworthiness is given eternal worthiness.
We are the shepherdess, Jesus is the king.
