 It is only when His people are fully established in grace that everything in them will be beauty and perfection, and that they will recognize that they belong entirely to Christ, and at the same time that they will entirely possess His affection. This last thought is the rest of their heart. This is thus expressed in the third formulary of the experience of this divine song, if I may coldly so speak, and which gives the full happiness of the bride, “I am my Beloved’s, and his desire is toward me”- the consciousness of belonging to Christ and that His affections rest on us-the consciousness that we are the objects of His own affections and delight. This is most deep and perfect joy. (Song of Solomon 6-7 by J.N. Darby)
 The reader will do well to weigh these three {Song . 7:10; 2:16; 6:3} expressions of satisfaction of heart: the possessing Christ; our belonging to Him; and this last, with the unspeakable knowledge that His heart’s delight is in us, however much-and it is surely then it will be felt-all is grace. (Song of Solomon 6-7 by J.N. Darby)
 When desires after the Beloved were first awakened her great longing was to possess the object of her affections, and when gratified she exclaims, "My Beloved is mine and I am His;" but as she grows in the knowledge of His thoughts towards her, she becomes increasingly conscious that she is an object to Him, and, with this thought filling her soul, she is constrained to say, "I am my Beloved's, and my Beloved is mine;" but at last when her affections are revived and she finds His love unchanged, and that instead of reproaches she hears only expressions of delight in herself, she realizes to the full that she belongs to the Bridegroom and that His affections are set upon her, and with great delight she says, "I am my Beloved's, and His desire is toward me." (Canticle 5: The Witness andd Communion of Love by H. Smith)
