• {v.4} As soon as she passes from them, she finds Him. Again He will have her rest in His love. But all this is only prophetically and in testimony, for the comfort of those who have not yet found Him, by showing them what He is for them. (“Song of Solomon 3” by J.N. Darby)
• When every hindrance is overcome - the bed, the city, the watchmen - it was but a little ere the bride found her Beloved. And when found she "held Him, and would not let Him go." And may we not say, in our day, the one great need of the Lord's people is this same energy of love, which, overcoming every hindrance, links the soul to Christ, and will not let Him go. (“Canticle 2: The Awakening of Love” by H. Smith)
• We may attempt to bring Christ back to earth - in other words, we may seek to connect Christ's name and authority with this world - but it will be in vain. Christ is not to be found in the city and broadways of this world, and if He is not found here, He cannot be enjoyed here. He can only be known, and enjoyed, in connection with the heavenly scene where He is and to which we belong. (“Canticle 2: The Awakening of Love” by H. Smith)

—Scarcely had I passed from them, When I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, Until I had brought him into my mother’s house, And into the chamber of her that conceived me.
