SESSION 8 : Song of Songs Chapter 3:6-11 (TPT)

I
n the preceding verses, the Bridegroom-King has seen the

awakened hunger in her heart for Him. He sees her new level of
determined surrender, and it delights His heart. We must never

forget that our earnest desire to yield to the Lord—even if we don’t
always succeed—is a love melody to Him. He knows we are weak. He

knows our feeble frames, and He knows that it is He alone who can

give us the desire and the strength to be one with Him.

The Bible tells us in Psalm 37:4 (NIV):

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your
heart.”

It is therefore no surprise to see that, at the close of the last teaching
session in verse 5, she was taken aside once again into a further season

of intimacy with the Lord. This is the central place for spiritual growth

and revelation. It is an essential requirement of our Christian walk to
give Jesus time to speak into our innermost being—words that are

kisses from His mouth. This will enable our heart’s desire to become a

reality.

Read these words written by King David during his exile in the Judean

desert:

“O God of my life, I’m lovesick for you in this weary wilderness. I thirst

with the deepest longings to love you more, with cravings in my heart
that can’t be described. Such yearning grips my soul for you, my God!
