Lost And Found

No love story would be truthful without an account of conflict and the need for forgiveness and reconciliation. Broken communication, hurt feelings, and the desire to take back an unkind word are inevitable in an intimate relationship. These experiences can also lead to growth.

From Series: "Fair As The Moon, Bright As The Sun"

Our world is awash in immature sexuality. Graphic display absent meaning, power without intimacy, and technique lacking purpose are everywhere on display. The Song of Solomon stands in clear contrast to our familiar culture, and has fascinated readers, both Jews and Christians, for centuries. It is a clear and beautiful depiction of hearts and bodies made one in marriage. This short book is one of the only two in the Bible with no direct mention of God (Esther is the other). Yet, the Creator who gives love's gifts and calls for intimacy with Himself has often used this poetry to inspire worship. May our consideration of these texts - depicting the path to intimacy, the power of longing, the need for renewal, lessons of a lifetime - enable us as lovers and worshipers. And give us words of hope for the broken hearts that surround us.
