Song of Solomon 5

Song of Solomon 5:5-6, 8 NIV

"I arose to open for my beloved,
and my hands dripped with myrrh,
my fingers with flowing myrrh,
on the handles of the bolt. I opened for my beloved,
but my beloved had left; he was gone.
My heart sank at his departure.
I looked for him but did not find him.
I called him but he did not answer. Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you—
if you find my beloved,
what will you tell him?
Tell him I am faint with love."

ok so first things first...verses 2-8 talk about a bad dream that the woman is having...

we see here that her biggest fear is missing an opportunity to be with her lover...at the end of the dream she tells her friends that if they find the man...tell him that she is "faint with love"

This is how my life should be with Christ...I guess I have to ask myself "Is my biggest fear missing an opportunity to be with God?"...infact....a lot of times i sin knowing that it will seperate me from God...but God will forgive me right...

notice that the woman never thought that...she was devistated that she missed her opportunity...she was afraid that he would think that she doesn't love him any more....

I need to be more like this for sure


now for the second part!

Song of Solomon 5:16 NIV

"His mouth is sweetness itself;
he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved, this is my friend,
daughters of Jerusalem."

she calls him her friend....friendship is important in a relationship like this. Just because you're in an intamate relationship doesn't mean you have to be intamate all the time...

I work at a grocery store, and I see all sorts of couples. It really bothers me when I see two people making-out in a checkout line. there are plenty of couples who make it obvious that they are together without making a scene.

Another reason friendship is important in a relationship is that it helps other friendships. That's the funny thing about friendships...the better friend you are with a person...the more friends you're gunna have. You're going to make friends with their friends.

I know way to many people (and I was like this in high school) who pretty much shun thier friends for their girlfriend/boyfriend.

Pretty much, people shouldn't mind hanging out with you and your girlfriend/boyfriend....

well that's all tonight...i think when I get done with Song of Solomon, I'm going to make a blog with all of these bosts' clean up the errors lol, and print it out so I always temember it... well i'm starting to fall asleep...sooo...g'night.
