A Series of Longing from the Song of Songs
I welcome love that honors, cherishes, and meets me where I am.
Valentine’s Day can stir many things — good, bad, and indifferent.
But beneath it all lives a deep, primal need for love.
Sacred love.
The mutual kind. Tender. And true.
Sacred love says,
I see you.
I want to pursue you.
I delight in you.
I choose you again and again.
It moves toward you with intention. It rests in you with joy. It honors the beauty you carry — even the parts you hide. Or ignore.
And on this day, when the world is full of roses and romance, may you remember this:
You are worthy!
You are worthy of a love that cherishes your soul.
A love that listens.
A love that protects.
A love that celebrates your existence.
A love that reflects the heart of God.
Is your lover loving you like God does?
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death.— Song of Solomon 8:6
May this day remind you that you are deeply loved by God.
May you be open to receiving the sacred love that God offers.
May you feel held, chosen, and treasured. Amen.
