"I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine;
he browses among the lilies."
the old NIV [irony!] (now known as NIV 84...if you have a NIV at home its a NIV 84 the new translation just came out like 2 monthas ago...and it's only digital now...they wont start printing them untill later this year)
anways like i was saying....the old NIV translated
Song of Solomon 6:3 NIV84
"I am my lover's and my lover is mine;
he browses among the lilies. "
Anywho...the woman is saying that they belong to EACH OTHER...it not just one person making sacrifices...they both are because they love eachother.
This is how it should be with our realationship with God. I know that most of the time in my life I let God do all the sacrifices for me...I dont expect God to get angry with me and I want everything He has for me...
but I hardley make any sacrifices for God...I get mad at God when things don't go my way, and i don't want to give Him everything that He asks for...
sometimes I feel like He belongs to me more than I belong to Him....that's not good at all
now for the second part
Song of Solomon 6:8-9 NIV
"Sixty queens there may be,
and eighty concubines,
and virgins beyond number; but my dove, my perfect one, is unique,
the only daughter of her mother,
the favorite of the one who bore her.
The young women saw her and called her blessed;
the queens and concubines praised her."
Here we see the man talking about the woman...he says she is unique...
"There are always other fish in the sea" doesnt apply to him...The man here knows that out of all the women in the world...this is the woman he loves...this is important...
when you find what you're looking for...you'll know..
that's why i think (this is what i think) that every relationship should start out as a friendship...that way you get to know who someone really is before you jump into anything...
alright that's it, thanks for reading....g'night
