Song 8:6 Set me like a seal upon your heart, like a seal upon your arm; for love is as strong as death, jealousy is as hard {and} cruel as Sheol (the place of the dead). Its flashes are flashes of fire, a most vehement flame [the very flame of the Lord]!
Song 8:7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would offer all the goods of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned {and} despised.
Twenty two years ago I walked into church as I always had and my eyes met with a man in whom I had all things in common. He took my hand during church and when he looked at me and smiled, my heart melted. The above scripture came to my mind while he glanced over at me. His eyes held me captive and he did not even know I existed. Other women were using different manipulative ways in which to "capture" his love. We both had small children and we both went our separate ways; however, I never forgot this "un-love" that I really believed we both missed. There were three other times in my life when our paths crossed but this love that has always been deep in my heart never got to be expressed because hearts harden and what we know of as true love just was not God's best for us. I have learned that really to love is exactly what I did all those years. To put myself in the position that if God moved on this man to "love me back"... then he would come into my life and we would grow old together loving each other as God intended. Today is Valentine's Day. Find some way to "not" be quiet about your love. If you know this love is from God, then remember what His word says and be bold and confident in your friendship, your romance and in your married life, no matter how many years you have been married.. that husband should still captivate you with his eyes, and be thankful.
