The Song of Solomon 2:4, 2:16, 4:9, 6:3
His banner over me is love,
My Beloved is mine and I am His,
You have stolen My heart, My sister, My bride; you have stolen My heart with one glance of your eyes,
I am my Beloved's and my Beloved is mine.
This book tells us of the joys of marriage. It also illustrates how our God loves us. Israel is called God's wife, and the church is the Bride of Christ. He loves us passionately, as a bridegroom is enamored with his new bride.
God's heart goes out to us from that first repentant look toward Him to save us. Now we are His much loved wife and He has given us Himself, courting us into His love; and He belongs to us as we belong to Him: we are to be one with Him as He is one with the Father.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
