My beloved spoke and said to me,
“Arise, my darling,
my beautiful one, come with me."
Song of Songs is such a lovely poem. It's rare to find references to Earthly love in the Bible, but Solomon shows his love to us in great detail. Here the woman speaks. She tells us that her lover has called her to come out to enjoy the beauty of spring.
It's an ongoing thing, this pleasure we can take from spring and from those we love. We can do things with great faith, and yet we neglect the needs of our loved ones. I need to remember to slow down, to take pleasure in my beloved ones and in this gorgeous world God gave us.
Prayer: Lord, help me to recognize Your hand in shaping my world. Give me a new appreciation of all the beauty and love which surrounds me. I give my praises to You for the many blessings in my life.
Amen
