There are key expressions in the verses below:
"ALTOGETHER beautiful/lovely"
"Desirable in EVERY WAY"
"Beautiful in EVERY WAY"
"YOUR LOVE delights me"
Young Man:
7 You are altogether beautiful, my darling,
beautiful in every way.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,
come with me from Lebanon.
Come down from Mount Amana,
from the peaks of Senir and Hermon,
where the lions have their dens
and leopards live among the hills.
9 You have captured my heart,
my treasure, my bride.
You hold it hostage with one glance of your eyes,
with a single jewel of your necklace.
10 Your love delights me,
my treasure, my bride.
Your love is better than wine,
your perfume more fragrant than spices.
11 Your lips are as sweet as nectar, my bride.
Honey and milk are under your tongue.
Your clothes are scented
like the cedars of Lebanon.
12 You are my PRIVATE garden, my treasure, my bride,
a secluded spring, a hidden fountain.
-Song of Solomon 4:7-12
Young Woman:
16 His mouth is sweetness itself; he is desirable in every way [altogether lovely]. Such, O women of Jerusalem, is my lover, my friend.
-Song of Solomon 5:16
10 I am my beloved’s, And his desire is toward me.
-Song of Solomon 7:10
This video was filmed a couple years back, but the message is STILL VITAL: We are MORE than our bodies! God created us with purpose; and He gave each of us a soul, spirit, heart, mind, emotions, intellect, humor, gifts, spiritual gifts, and more. Physical attraction is and feels beautiful. Sexual attraction is beautiful and exciting, when in alignment with God’s Word. However, LOVE goes BEYOND physical and sexual attraction: It speaks to the depths of you. TRUE LOVE desires and requires the essence, the entirety of a person. LOVE covers what physical attraction and sex cannot (please deeply study 1 Corinthians 13).
The LORD is leading me to repost this video, along with the words He first gave me for this video:
"You won't find true love through sex. You won't be 'complete' by having a man or a woman in your life. Stop looking in the wrong places for these things: True love comes from God—both spiritually and regarding your love life. Remember, 'Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.' -James 1:17. Also, please pay close attention to how an individual loves and respects GOD as well as THEMSELVES, as this will tell you a lot about how they may or may not love and respect YOU, and whether or not they are God's best for you. Lastly, please know that you are MORE than just your body, you are MORE than your exterior: One must seek to love, as well as value the importance of, your interior. Never settle for less."
💝Happy Celibacy Awareness Month.💝
(My Celibacy Update: I have been celibate for 17 and a half years now. I am still saving myself until marriage.
Please understand that God’s timing is perfect.)
I love you all, but God loves you BEST of all! May God bless you all!
In Obedience to My Heavenly Father,
All Glory to God,
