Love Story :: Song of Songs

My beloved spoke, and said to me:“Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grapes, give a good smell.
Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away! (Song of Songs 2:10-13)

Hello, I hope you’re enjoying your Wednesday so far. Lately I love reading the book of Song of Songs in the bible. It is the most heart moving book about the love of Christ and His bride.

Shulamite is a lovely young woman who has a lover. Her lover is a shepherd, although he is absence, but she always think about him like he is there. Shulamite, always talk to her lover (Jesus), though not seeing him, just like us, we always talk to the Lord through prayer.

My beloved spoke and said to me: “Rise up, my love, my fair one and come away. The winter is past, the rain is over and gone. Time of singing has come. Rise up and come away!” The winter represents gloomy and sad days. Jesus said those days is past, our old days are in the past and happy days are here.

A time of singing has come. When we have Jesus in our life, we start our life with singing. Our days are like Spring. It’s a joy to become sons and daughters of God. We sing in church, in our homes, in the field, in a hospital bed, there is singing everywhere.

God wants us to rise up, to dance, to sing, to be happy, because our sorrow days had passed, our rainy days are over.

If you don’t know Jesus and still living in the cold winter, come to him, to enjoy the beautiful spring and blessings. Jesus is the fountain of life. “For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.” Psalm 36:9
