In this chapter, the young woman returns the favor and uplifts her mate to the young women of Jerusalem. She ends the chapter with the following description of her man: “My lover is dark and dazzling, better than ten thousand others! His head is the finest gold, and his hair is wavy and black. His eyes are like doves beside brooks of water; they are set like jewels. His cheeks are like sweetly scented beds of spices. His lips are like perfumed lilies. His breath is like myrrh. His arms are like round bars of gold, set with chrysolite. His body is like bright ivory, aglow with sapphires. His legs are like pillars of marble set in sockets of the finest gold, strong as the cedars of Lebanon. None can rival him. His mouth is altogether sweet; he is lovely in every way. Such, O women of Jerusalem, is my lover, my friend.” (verse 10-16) (Wow…ADORATION!)
Read the rest of the chapter and fill your spirit with what love sounds like.
Lord, thank you for your Word today! Let the men and women of this amazing world you created uplift and adore their mates. Help us fully embrace our partners and fill them up with our love. Lord, we love you!
May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)
….AND MAY WE ALL PRACTICE THIS WITH ONE ANOTHER.
