"Draw me after you and let us run together! The king has brought me into his chambers."
  Song of Solomon 1:4 NASB
           “Draw me!!” cries the Shulamite maiden. “Draw me after you!” There is a deep yearning within her spirit that desires more. She can no longer be content with what she has experienced of him up to this point. The desire to be drawn closer still springs from a place deep within her that recognizes there are depths...

". . .your name is ointment poured forth" Song of Solomon 1:3b
          I remember some years ago coming home from an exhausting day of work. As I opened the door to my bedroom I was greeted –- or more accurately, accosted -- by a strong smell. The fragrance so permeated every molecule of the room, it literally overwhelmed me. I looked on the dresser and ,noticed that the bottle of extremely expensive perfume I had recently purchased was half emptied. My mother,...

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth — For your love is more delightful than wine.     Song of Solomon 1:2 NIV
 
"My Beloved Bride, there are so many things in this world that can bring you pleasure; that can bring you joy.  Many things that draw you with their intoxicating appeal.  They called you before you came to Me and they call you still. Once you sought the 'stuff' of the world, its wine, its pleasures. And you know that in all your pleasure-seeking, often the emptiness you sought to fill...

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is better than wine.  Song of Solomon 1:2
     I must have been in high school the first time I attempted to read through the Song of Solomon. I remember thinking, “This is in the Bible!” I admit I found it a bit disconcerting to find such sensual language and imagery in the Holy canon. Somehow I knew that God still had something to say to me through...

 
The Song of Songs which is Solomon’s
Song of Solomon 1:1
 
 
I remember my high school yearbook featuring some of my classmates on the “Senior Superlatives” page.  Pictured there were those individuals who in their four years of high school  had distinguished themselves in some way or another.   The Cutest, the Smartest, the Most Athletic, The Most Talented, The Most Talkative, the Most likely to . . . 
 
These individuals were found to be simply the best.
 
The phrase “the song of songs”...

     I don’t remember exactly when the Lord gave the Song of Solomon to me (or maybe He gave me to the Song of Solomon. I can’t really be sure). I only know that by early 1990s, I had fallen so deeply in love with the Lord and  I desired to know Him in more intimate ways; I was so desperate for Him. There was a cry in my heart and a hunger in my soul that even now I cannot adequately...

 
"I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear,
But now my eye sees You.
                                                                                                Job 42:5
 
“My Daughter, it is only natural that you seek to make sense of many of the things that have been happening in your life.  So often the desire, as you look back over the challenges, the woundedness, the brokenness that you have endured on your journey, is to ask what you did that opened the door. It’s not always about any wrong you’ve...

Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 16:24-25
