RADICAL LOVE



          journey. Without His love, grace, and power, we will always fail. But

          as we acknowledge and humbly confess our absolute dependence on
          Him,  receiving  and  believing  the  finished  work  of  the  Cross  (see

          Romans 8:35–37), He will bring us through—just like He brought the
          Shulamite through—to a deeper revelation of His love.


          The veil referred to in verse 7 represents humility. As mentioned above,

          she  knows  that  her  passionate  love  for  Him  has  only  been  made
          possible because He first loved her. She loves Him with the overflow

          of this love. It is not her love in any way—it is a gift of grace, and it is
          totally supernatural!


          We must never forget: it is always, all about Him. This truth will protect

          us from pride.

          We leave this session with the encouraging words of Philippians 2:13

          (NIV): “For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to
          fulfil His good purpose.”
