Song of Solomon 8:6-7<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD.<\/span>\u00a0Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Love\u2014you can be wealthy and still not acquire it. You can be beautiful and never experience it. All your accomplishments and efforts cannot guarantee you will feel its touch. Yet, the greatest need of the human heart is not elusive. The moment you say yes to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, He sets the seal of the Holy Spirit upon you\u2014His pledge that He is yours and you are His forever. And what an extraordinary love it is!<\/p>\n
Lovers will tattoo one another\u2019s names on themselves to profess their devotion, but Jesus gave His hands to be pierced for you.\u00a0\u201cSee, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands\u201d<\/em>\u00a0(Isaiah 49:16). On Calvary\u2019s cross, Jesus made the way for you to experience love beyond human passion or imagination. Fire cannot quench it, nor the flood of circumstance wash it away (Romans 8:38-39).<\/p>\n
Do you remember how you first responded to Christ\u2019s love? It was committed, intense, and, above all, passionate and without reservation. But one of the dangers of love is that you can easily neglect it. Perhaps you\u2019ve been the object of His affection for many years, yet your affection has cooled because you\u2019ve replaced Him with other loves. Believer, God is jealous for you\u2014make Him your first love.<\/p>\n
The cross is where perfect Love met your deepest need<\/strong>. Revisit Christ\u2019s sacrifice for you and ponder its depths, revel in it, and reignite the flames of your love once again. (J. Hibbs)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
