Saturday, November 27: Song of Solomon 6- Reaffirming love.

Given the misunderstanding of the last chapter, I was taken by the lover’s response when he sees his beloved. Would he remain angry, or bitter or upset or display passive-aggressive behaviors? What would he do? How would he act???

Wow!  He echoes the words of love spoken a few chapters ago.

Verbalizing and reaffirming our love for our wives is powerful.

Who among us after we have had a misunderstanding with someone important to us, marriage partner, friend, family member, isn’t blessed and built up when they reaffirm their love or friendship? That is precisely what our lover does…

We don’t know how much time has elapsed since last chapter. Whatever the time parameters, the lover has simmered down and the first chance he has, he drenchers his bride, his beloved, with praise. The lover again tells his beloved ‘eye-to-eye’ how much she is loved.

The Spirit’s simple nudges… “Bill,  learn to do this…”

God, teach me the power of words and how they build others up… Amen.
