I remember after we got our three "new" children, I felt the Lord wanted me to really focus, study, & pray through I Cor 13. I spent weeks at it, but the more I prayed, the worse I felt... almost to the point of despair because of a deep realization that I would NEVER be able to approach that kind of love. Then one day He said, "Now I want you to go to Song of Solomon and do the same thing." I got a couple of good commentaries and dug in. The time that I spent experiencing SofS is beyond words. When I finished, He said, "Now do you understand that the only way you can ever approach 1 Cor 13 love is to LIVE in Song of Solomon?" Thanks for reminding me... the past few months have been a real assault against intimacy. Time to refocus and reconnect... The teens need to experience Jesus for themselves so badly. Chrisianity becomes bloodless and powerless otherwise. Our kids demand nothing less than the real thing and I'm glad they do!!Donna Adelgrennoreply@blogger.com
