Love...
9:55 PM | Author: Tia
Song of Songs is one of my favorite books in the Bible. I think it really shows you how to celebrate romantic love, the way that God intended it and I believe it also shows you the love God has for his people.... Song of Song was written by Solomon. And these specific verses were written as if a guy was talking to the girl he loves... However I can't help but think about the man that I love when I read this. This is from The Message Bible:

Song of Songs 4:8-15

Come with me from Lebanon, my bride.
Leave Lebanon behind, and come.
Leave your high mountain hideaway.
Abandon your wilderness seclusion,
Where you keep company with lions
and panthers guard your safety.
You've captured my heart, dear friend.
You looked at me, and I fell in love.
One look my way and I was hopelessly in love!
How beautiful your love, dear, dear friend—
far more pleasing than a fine, rare wine,
your fragrance more exotic than select spices.
The kisses of your lips are honey, my love,
every syllable you speak a delicacy to savor.
Your clothes smell like the wild outdoors,
the ozone scent of high mountains.
Dear lover and friend, you're a secret garden,
a private and pure fountain.
Body and soul, you are paradise,
a whole orchard of succulent fruits—
Ripe apricots and peaches,
oranges and pears;
Nut trees and cinnamon,
and all scented woods;
Mint and lavender,
and all herbs aromatic;
A garden fountain, sparkling and splashing,
fed by spring waters from the Lebanon mountains.

The part that is is bold specifically makes me think of him. I Love You Andy, with all that I have!
