Song of Solomon 2:8-17

 Our passage is suggestive of the possibilitiesand opportunities found in loving and being loved by God. Take the gifts andblessings that God has given you in a personal way. Discover beauty andrecognize it as more that just what happens to be but as God’s gift to you inthis moment and at this particular place. Speak to God as you would to a lover,”You brought me here to show me this?” James had the right idea,”Every desirable and beneficial gift comes out of heaven. The gifts arerivers of light cascading down from the Father of Light.” Psalms 19 isanother scripture that expresses the pure delight of love for a God who is thesource of all that is good and wholesome and joyous in our lives.
