Loves intimacy

S: “Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as enduring as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame. Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with all his wealth, his offer would be utterly scorned.” Song of Songs 8:6-7 NLT

O: A seal in biblical times was an identifier of who was royalty. Whoever or whatever carried the seal was deeply connected to the King and had to heared, respected and executed. 

[I can not imagine God describing the details of my breast. Especially, if according to Pastor Hill, our souls are without gender. However, the book being an example of the intimacy in a marriage is similar to that of the intimacy we should have with Christ. I could see describing Gods word with such passion and detail.]

Therefore, just as a man in the Kings army wore his seal on his sleeve, may the seal be on the heart. The heart than is an extension of him to be heard, respected and executed. It is also where life flows form and where the mouth speaks from. Love is the execution, for love is an action that causes feeling and its power is strong. It's power is mighty. Many become envious of others love they never search out for themselves and die. True love eludes itself and draws people to it. It cannot be stopped, nor can it be imitated. No wealth in the world can buy it.

A: I have prayed circles around my marriage and have served my husband even when I didn't feel like it. I enjoy his features and dislike the smell of his darts. I embrace him and hold him. I care for him and respect him. All of these attributes I should also have with Christ. God gave Solomon great wisdom, he learned to reverence God from his father, a man after Gods own heart. It would only be right for Solomon to reflect such adoration toward God through wisdom in marriage. Authority and reverence are key ingredients to loves intimacy. 

P: Thank you precious father for showing me clarity in this book and in relation tons deeper intimacy with you. Agape is your name! Your kingdom is here and it is my responsibility to take my kingship deeper in you that I may preach kingdom to your people. Your will be done over my heart that everything I endeavor flow from you. I want to be whole, I want to be empty inside, I want to have virtue to lay it all down for you oh King. I desire intimacy with you God by going deeper in your word and knowing and understanding it. I yearn to bring heaven down to earth. Give me strength and inner confidence to get through this no matter how exhausted. Free me from excuses, deliver me from all things hindering me from executing from the heart. I love you Lord. In Jesus name, amen.
