You Gotta Love Her

Scripture: Song of Songs 7:1-9

"1 *How beautiful are your sandaled feet,  O queenly maiden. Your rounded thighs are like jewels,   the work of a skilled craftsman. 2 Your navel is perfectly formed  like a goblet filled with mixed wine.
Between your thighs lies a mound of wheat   bordered with lilies. 3 Your breasts are like two fawns,  twin fawns of a gazelle. 4 Your neck is as beautiful as an ivory tower. Your eyes are like the sparkling pools in Heshbon  by the gate of Bath-rabbim. Your nose is as fine as the tower of Lebanon overlooking Damascus. 5 Your head is as majestic as Mount Carmel,  and the sheen of your hair radiates royalty.
  The king is held captive by its tresses. 6 Oh, how beautiful you are!  How pleasing, my love, how full of delights! 7 You are slender like a palm tree,  and your breasts are like its clusters of fruit.
8 I said, "I will climb the palm tree and take hold of its fruit." May your breasts be like grape clusters,  and the fragrance of your breath like apples. 9 May your kisses be as exciting as the best wine,
  flowing gently over lips and teeth.*

Observation: Solomon greatly praise his wife for her beauty!

Application: We must be keenly aware of how beautiful our wives look and not be afraid to tell them. Everything they are and everything they have was created by God and we must acknowledge that. I our wives know that they are the apple of our eye and that there are no other women as beautiful as them to you….they will respond in a more loving, caring way!

Prayer: God I pray that you continue you to help me love and cherish my wife! May I you give me words to say to her that show she is beautiful to me and to you. In Jesus Name!
