As a lily among brambles, so is my love among the young women.

As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men.
With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
Sustain me with raisin cakes, Refresh me with apples, Because I am lovesick.
He has brought me to his banquet hall, And his banner over me is love.
His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.
Song of Solomon 2:2-6
I love the Song of Solomon because it is a picture of our love for God and His love for us.
I pray to be in love with him every day. May we all know his embrace.
