Imagine Just Having A Picnic With You And God- Surrounded By His Creation And Soaking In The Wisdom Of

“There’s no need to talk about it, because the truth of what one says lies in what one does.”

Song of Solomon 8:4

Take the warning seriously about love. (Songs of Solomon 8:4)

God wants you to enjoy love with the one He has given you. He wants to enjoy love with you. He wants you to enjoy love with the one He has given you. He wants you to enjoy it in a proper fashion. This is the reason God warns THREE times in the Song about stirring up or awakening love before its time.

“Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you: do not stir up or awaken love until the appropriate time.” (Song of Solomon 8:4, HCSB

The Song even acknowledges how hard it is to be this patient.

“Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you: if you find my love, tell him that I am lovesick.” (Song of Solomon 5:8, HCSB)

Many times, we want to strike the spark of love before we are ready. God warns us to be patient. Of course, it doesn’t help that we live a society that pushes that on us. Society pressures us. Whether it is the pressure of giving gifts and cards on Valentine’s Day, or selling us sex in a movie like Fifty Shades of Grey, society wants to tell you how to love. We must remember Who our source of love is.

“The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” (1 John 4:8, HCSB)

God is love and He is our Source of love. We will not get the most satisfaction of love without Him. So we need to take God’s warning here seriously about romantic love. At the same time, we need to learn to be faithful and enjoy the one God gives us to express our love.

Song of Songs 3:4

“If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be.Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.”

— Osho (via quotemadness)

when i’m happy, i’m the prettiest. I love that glow

“If we do not plant knowledge when young, it will give us no shade when we are old.” - Lord Chesterfield

When I see that cross, I see freedom,

When I see that grave, I see Jesus,

And from death to life, I will sing your praise.

In the wonder of your grace.
