"I charge you, O Daughters of Jerusalem, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases."
I came across this verse tonight. This is truly the perfect versefor anyone who feels like they desperately need love in their life to get through another day. The author's words are so beautiful and his choice of words describes in depth the way only God can love someone.
Movies, Television, and the public throw us in a whirl wind of what love is "supposed" to be like. The romantic, head over heals, reach for the stars, world series kinda love. I know in my life it is so easy to watch movies and get so caught up in finding this "perfect prince." Maybe its the way he sweeps the princess off her feet, in his big strong arms or maybe its how his voice speaks right to her and how his words flow so smoothly out of his mouth.
In this verse, Solomon is saying. Wait, wait, wait on God. I know a lot of times girls in general try to rush love and being in relationships, instead of waiting on the perfect time. I think that a lot of good relationships end, because the two people aren't fully focused on what God has in store but rather on the When and Now.
This verse reminds us to be patient and wait for love to happen and not to "stir it up" before God has planned.
