The Garden of Love

Song of Solomon 3-7

Oh the sweetness of marital love, it is scented with Eden, bathed in The Flood, sealed in the Heart of God and places eternity in our hearts.  No one can read Song of Solomon…

“I arose to open to my beloved;

And my hand dripped with myrrh,

And my fingers with liquid myrrh,

On the handles of the bolt…

Who is this that grows like the dawn,

As beautiful as the full moon,

As pure as the sun.”  5:5, 6:10

…and not long for a love like this.  You know how to acquire such a love gift?  Choose to!!!  Love your spouse this way.  Pursue them and let not your emotions not be divided…AND LET NOT  YOUR EMOTIONS BE DIVIDED!!!

And when they are old and grey, bent and slow, dull of hearing and sight they will be, “The work of the hands of an artist.” 7:1b
