Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm,
for love is as strong as death,
jealousy as fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
the very flame of the Lord.
Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can floods drown it.
If a man offered for love
all the wealth of his house,
he would be utterly despised.
[song of solomon 8:6-7]
Intensity. Passion. Emotionally charged. Strong beyond measure. Gripping.
When I read this, I'm struck by how watered-down my personal expectation of love is, and I'm guessing I'm not the only one. This is what we can expect out of the love that we receive from God on a daily basis. We can also expect ourselves to give greater love and to receive greater love. We can expect AMAZING things out of our God, our selves, our lives. I challenge you to expect amazing things today and to live like you believe that its possible to experience amazing things in your life. It's all about perspective and deep belief.
