Song of Solomon 7:10-12

Song of Solomon 7:10-12
“I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me. Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.”



While reading Song of Solomon, I am reminded of God’s love and beauty. Song of Solomon is a beautiful description of intimacy with Jesus. In the verses 7:10-12, I envision a beautiful countryside, one of ripe fruit and plenty of greenery all around. I can even smell the fresh, country air and feel the breeze on my face as Jesus tells us in verses 11 and 12, “let us go forth into the field and let us see if the vine flourish…there I will give you my love.” (paraphrased).
We all desire romance. God created us to be passionate, loving individuals. He created us to desire him and to spend time with him and love him. He desires US…Verse 10 says, “his desire is toward me.”

Take a moment and picture this: You live in a place like something out of Beauty and the Beast…maybe Italy or Greece…you lodge in the villages with Jesus…with the lover of your soul. Many people think of Europe to be romantic...that's why I used Italy or Greece. The fresh fruit stands in the sunny streets, the quartet playing on the corner...imagine the sun shining on your face. And the best part of it all is, that Jesus is WITH YOU. He is romancing you...he is wooing you and he will never hurt you. You can trust him with all that you have and are..


His love is beautiful and amazing...imagine him holding you, as you overlook the vineyard with him. Allow him to show you the delicate beauty that awaits you, as you trust him to hold your heart.
