Welcome Fam,
It's another day, the Lord has blessed us with lots of sunshine and rain. Be expectant for lovely blooms, blossoms and young fruit.
Let's pray:
Father thank you for your word give us insight and understanding. Let it fill us with joy and warmth. Bless our hearts with your strength and let us see what you see, Amen.
Let's eat:
Today I'll be in the Book, Song of Songs which is found in the Bible for those who don't know where it is.
I want us to understand how the young woman looks like from the lens of the young man. Plus what she calls herself also.
(**NLT**)
Song of Songs 2:1
1 I am the spring crocus blooming on the Sharon Plain, the lily of the valley.
Notes:
Here the young lady speaks of who she is. Blooming refers to the opening of flowers in general. It often suggests reaching a peak state of beauty, health or radiance.
Song of Songs 2:11-12
11 Look, the winter is past, and the rains are over and gone.
12 The flowers are springing up, the season of singing birds has come, and the cooing of turtle-doves fill the air.
Notes:
The Seasons have changed, spring joy is here, growth has began.
Song of Songs 2:13a
13 The fig trees are forming young fruit, and the fragrant grape vines are blossoming.
Notes: Formation period
Blossoming refers specifically to the flowers of fruit bearing trees. This word also implies a gradual, promising growth and flourishing into one's full potential.
What am I driving at?
Both is happening at the same time. Plus she is both a flower and a tree. A garden and a field. She is blooming beauty and sweet fragrance.
Plus the works of her hands are blossoming. Both inside (inner) and outside (outer) is flourishing into her full potential.
If you are a male reading, this applies to you also. As I write I get more refreshing insights.
Let's pray:
Father, thank you for teaching us today with love and giving us patience and a beautiful perspective of what you see. Continuously lead us in your tender love, Amen.
If you want to receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour, say with me: Dear Jesus, come into my heart, I make you my Lord and Saviour, I repent of my sins, I believe you died on the cross to reconcile me back to God, I receive your love and new life, Amen.
Remember we are blooming and blossoming.
