Song of Solomon 8:6
“Love is as strong as death…Love bursts into flames and burns like a hot fire.”
I have this overwhelming feeling of sadness today. I don’t believe that love is easy to let go of regardless of the circumstances.
I started this month praying for some Joy. Ok it’s only been six days so I’m being impatient.
Lost love is like a death. I am grieving.
I’m grumbling more than I am glowing. The lesson I am supposed to learn from this is that even these difficult days, I am supposed to count them all as Joy.
Easier said than done.
When I learn to accept that I am going to be single, the blessings are going to outnumber the bruises.
A change in season, a change in me.
I love you even if you are reading this and I don’t know you , and if I do know you, you know without a doubt that I love you.
I love you because of the love I know from God and Jesus Christ.
Grace and peace to you from God our Father.

I love the Song of Solomon, but found this an interesting passage to ponder during a season of grief. but then I don't know the circumstances, I only came to your blog today. Have you read 5:2-8? I hope your season of grief is turning into a season of joy.
ReplyDeleteSong of Solomon 5 verses 2-8 is about longing. these verses are moving.
ReplyDeleteWhy think of love during grief about an end of a relationship? sometimes we ponder at the end of a relationship- what made me love that person to begin with - were they always this way??- Yes, things happen and there are times of anger, but what you have to ask is did you ever really love the other person and did they ever really love you?
I selected this verse because love wasn't always hurtful.
Love remains love.
Consider how we love; show love and give love and it can come back to you - maybe not with in the way we wanted it or who we we wanted it with, but don't give up on love because of a heartbreak. There are a lot of people to love and will love you back.
I hope this made sense.
