Song of Solomon 3

The begining of this section has the bride seeking out her groom. In verse 4 she says that once she found him she held him very near. That is to be the picture of how we Christians pursue Christ. Though he is not far away the sin nature in our life makes it difficult for us to see him. By the strength of the Spirit we are able to overcome this world and pursue the will of our God and king. Then while we cling to God he will give us a new heart and a reason for hope in this life and in the life to come. That is the type of relationship I know that I need with Jesus. I am thankful that he is offering me, and all believers, that level of closeness.
It took me less than 2 minutes to read this passage from the Biblical love poem.
