Lovesick for Apples

[The Bride] “I am the rose of Sharon, the lily of the valleys.  Like a lily among the thorns, so is my darling among the maidens.

“’ Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men.  In his shade I took great delight and sat down, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

“’He has brought me to his banquet hall, and his banner over me is love.  Sustain me with raisin cakes, refresh me with apples, because I am lovesick.’” Song of Solomon 2:1-5

The Song of Solomon has been called the Christian’s love song…a song of love in marriage.  Every time we enjoy eating a delicious, crunchy, juicy apple it is a reminder for each of us of how delightful, perfect and loving our Saviour, King and future Husband is.  Let us all be ‘lovesick’ for our Lord!

Take care with love, especially His, from Darlene, who still prays for you each day.
