A Series of Longing from the Song of Songs
I welcome love that chooses me with intention, tenderness, and joy.
Deeper than being seen,
deeper than being pursued,
is the longing to be chosen.
Chosen for you.
Your laugh.
Your smile.
Your eyes.
Your tender heart.
It’s that feeling of someone looking into your eyes and saying, “I see you, and I want to be with you — and in you.”
Yes.
You.
It is in that moment that love becomes intentional.
Desire meets heart.
Heart meets mind.
Affection becomes commitment.
Commitment becomes direction.
And the Song of Songs is all about this.
Bold.
Mutual.
Desire.
The lovers choose each other —
with their words,
their longing,
their delight.
They choose each other
tenderly,
kindly,
intimately.
Sacred love meets you where you are and moves forward.
It is the catalyst for togetherness.
Fully.
Freely.
Surrender.
Sacred love surrenders —
first to God,
then to your spouse —
and builds a foundation for a lifetime of joy, love, and delight.
“My beloved is mine and I am his.”
— Song of Solomon 2:16
May you feel the beauty of being chosen.
Loved.
Delighted in. Amen
