A Series of Longing from the Song of Songs
Love is tender, poetic, and intimate.
There is no doubt that love rises from the sacred space within each of us.
It is the longing to be seen.
To be heard.
To fill the loneliness.
And to remind us that we were created for connection.
The Song of Songs is one of the poetry books of the bible. It is the 22nd book in the Old Testament. Some say it is erotic poetry. But it is far more than that.
Two lovers on a love journey, each longing for the other. Their story is filled with desire, delight, and devotion. Rich with allegory and vivid imagery, this book sings a song of longing and intimacy —
a song that helps us understand what love is all about.
This month, we will step into that longing. The place where we want to be known,
chosen,
pursued,
and deeply cherished.
Sacred love is designed and defined by God.
It is passionate.
It is faithful.
It is holy.
And it is reachable.
It is like nothing else on this earth.
Love is fragrant.
It is mystical.
It is emotional.
It is intimate.
It is sacred.
It reflects God’s love for us.
And so, we begin —
a month of love. And what better place to start than the Song of Songs.
