YOU ARE WONDERFUL

Song of Solomon 8: 7 KJV
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would be utterly contemned. 

YOU ARE WONDERFUL 

Dearest Sisters, 

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!!!!

Have you camped out in the Song of Solomon lately? Whew! Wow! Whoa! It's a beautifully penned love letter from none other than King Solomon to the Shulamite woman. Please stop by! You don't want to miss it. There is a blessing therein. What woman can't appreciate a good, ole fashioned love letter every once in a while? The Song of Solomon is as wonderful as any other loving dialogue between a man and his darling but it also points us back to God, as does the entire Bible. 

Some have questioned and wondered why the Song of Solomon was included in the canonized books of the Bible. Dearest Ladies, allow me to clear things up. Solomon's letter to the Shulamite woman gives us a small, small, SMALL glimpse of God's immense love for us. Shulamite's response to Solomon underscores the importance of love and fellowship in our lives. The Lord knew that we would need an timeless example. The Lord knew that we would need a kernel of truth and bastion of hope to sustain us during challenging times.

Surely, we talk about God's love, and trusting Him as our husband during our singlehood sojourn, but have we really felt the magnitude of His love. Have we truly dug deep to study God's word, understand His ways, discern His heart, and learn about His feelings for us? God doesn't leave us in the dark.

Song of Solomon 6:9 KJV
My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

Sisters, in God's sight, you are wonderful. You are beautiful! You are worthy! Everyday, the Lord pursues you! He wants a loving, vibrant, passionate relationship with you. 

Of all the women in the whole wide world, God choose you. And, He chooses you daily....to love, to cherish, to protect, to teach, to disciple, to prune, and to develop. Stop by the Song of Solomon and engage the delightful prose. Drink deeply as you experience Solomon and Shulamite's love. Celebrate and enjoy their love and the beauty of love itself. Most importantly, draw comparisons to God's eternal, steadfast love for YOU. And, understand that although Solomon expresses a deep, rich, wonderful love to Shulamite, it doesn't even begin to fully capture God's great love for YOU! However, the Song of Solomon is all about YOU and God's immense love for YOU!!! Drink deeply!

Song of Solomon 7:1-2 KJV
7 How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.
2 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.

Please read the entirety of Song of Solomon chapter 7. God is into details. He's a master designer. He's an incredible creator.

God blessed us with beautiful, intricately detailed bodies. Our bodies are a gift; they carry us through every season and stage of life. Enjoy being in YOUR body. It was specially made for YOU!!! YOU are wonderfully made. 

What's your favorite physical feature about yourself? Study yourself. Decide on a favorite feature if you haven't already done so. Appreciate your body; take good care of it. Appreciate your unique beauty. Have a healthy pride about your favorite feature. Walk boldly and confidently before the Lord and others. You're wonderful! You're beautiful! You're God's favorite!

Love and blessings
