Song of Solomon 5:8 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, That you tell him I am lovesick!

Have you ever thought that you were so much in love that the world would end if you were not able to be with your love? It is that sort of feeling being talked about here but not between humans but between Christ and His church (us).

We seek Christ’s love and we do not always see it as we would like to, often thinking that Christ is showing love toward others before us. When Jesus rose from the grave He appeared to Mary first before the disciples.

God’s love for us is not in question; it is how we see that love that is in question here.

Psalm 119:81 My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.

How long do you keep hoping in something before you give up and move on? If you do not last long then maybe you did not actually believe it was going to happen or maybe there was nothing to encourage your hope.

God has given us His Word, the Gospel, our bibles to make sure that our hope for Salvation is fed for as long as we seek it. Yes we do have to wait for an uncertain time. Yes we don’t know all the answers.

But God’s promise is that we do have salvation through Jesus Christ and we have seen that proof through what Jesus did for our sakes.

Psalm 40:16 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; Let such as love Your salvation say continually, “The Lord be magnified!”

If we are helped by someone then it is seemingly easy to tell others about what they have done for us or how much we think of them for helping us. It is also easier to trust them after that helping hand too.

When we put our faith in Christ and seek Him with our whole heart we will find that we are encouraged through what we do for God and are more able to rejoice in everything that comes our way.

When we realise just how much Christ has done for us on the cross then we are able to go that one step further and magnify His name above all else.
