What are your thoughts? Powerful experience of being in love
Posted : 24 Jan, 2010 10:33 PM

From your interpretation, how do you view this passage of scripture in terms of the power of love? What's it mean relative to the experience of love you'd like to have?



Song of Solomon 8:6 Put me like a seal over your heart, Like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, Jealousy is as severe as Sheol; It's flashes are flashes of fire, The very flame of the LORD. 7. Many waters cannot quench love, Nor will rivers overflow it; If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love, It would be utterly despised.

Songs is one of those books I try to stay out of, for just such a reason as this. You read an incredibly beautiful passage such as the one you have here, you feel the words tugging on the strings of your heart, feel the tears welling up in your eyes....you don't even know why. No human could ever feel a love that strong, not for long. Then you realize you have felt that same love that overwhelming of emotions all at once transforming you into more than a mere human. You felt it the day you accepted Christ into your heart.



While we are pondering things, ponder this. Will we ever experience another love like that? I believe so, do you?



Much love,

Leon

Believe it or not, I just accompanied a student on a song based on that text. I can't help smiling every time I hear it...whether that love is God's love, or whether it's the love of a loving husband, it's just a beautiful passage of Scripture.
