Love is strong as death. Song of Solomon 8:6
Many waters cannot quench love. Song of Solomon 8:7
OL 8:6{OL 8:7{He proved His love to you and me to be strong as death, and when all God's waves and billows went over Him, the many waters could not quench it. In His love and in His pity He redeemed us; in the same love He bears us and carries us all the day long. He "loveth at all times," and that includes this present moment; now, while your eye is on this page, His eye of love is looking on you, and the folds of His banner of love are overshadowing you. Is there even a feeble pulse of love to Him? He meets it with, "I love them that love Me." "I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him." And so surely as the bride says, "Thy love is better than wine," so surely does the heavenly Bridegroom respond with incomprehensible condescension: "How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine!" May this love of Christ constrain us to live unto Him "who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Sit down beneath His shadow, and rest with great delight;
The faith that now beholds Him is pledge of future sight.
Our Master's love remember, exceeding great and free;
Lift up thy heart in gladness, for He remembers thee.
