Sweet, and your face is lovely. My lover is mine and I am his."
Song of Songs 2:14,16
When I approach the Lord in prayer, I relate to Him in different ways. Occassionally I talk with Him as my elder Brother, which he is. If I'm under spiritual attack, I'll go to Him in prayer as the Captain of my soul. He is my friend when I want to pour out my heart. I even have single friend who look up to the Lord as their Husband, as it says in Isaiah 54.
Lately I've enjoyed relating to my Savoir as the Lover of my soul. And when I want to tell the Lord how much I adore Him, I use the language of love in the Song of Songs. This beautiful book in the Bible is more than just a love poem; it's a picture of the love relationship between the Bridegroom and His bride.
From your heart, tell Jesus that He is the fairest of ten thousand, praise Him for being altogether lovely. Let Him know that His love is better than wine. He is the Rose of sharon, the Lily of the Valley. and to top it off, sing to whim thus beautiful hymn inspired by the Song of songs
Lord with everlasting love, led by grace that love to know;
Gracious Spirit from above, thou hast taught me it is so!
O, this full and perfect peace! O, this transport all divine!
In a 'ove which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine
Close me in your everlasting arms, Lord, and let my soul
Find rest and peace as i lean on your breast. May doubts
And cares fly away. No one, nothing, shall ever part us. I
Am Yours. . . Praise You for being mine.
