Don’t Let My Love Grow Cold

 Scripture:

“Come away, my love! Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.” ‭‭Song of Songs‬ ‭8‬:‭14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Song of Songs is a love story of two passionate people in love with each other. They go into great detail to express their love for each other. Many old translators and biblical scholars compared Song of Songs to one’s spiritual relationship with God. Either way, I want my love for God and my love for my wife to be as red hot as this book describes. 

Application:

Passion is a very powerful thing. It causes people to do things they would never do any other way. When someone is passionate about something, they give their everything to the pursuit of that thing. I want to always be passionate in my walk with God. I don’t want any fire to go out. I also want to remain passionate with my wife throughout our lives. I don’t like to settle into a boring life in any area. I want to live life like a gazelle on mountains of spices.

Prayer:

Father, I am reminded this morning of the old worship song that says, “don’t let my love grow cold.” I want to live red hot for You all the days of my life. I want to follow You wherever You lead and I want to do everything You place before me. I also want to live a passionate life with the wife of my youth. I don’t want to settle in either relationship. I want to live passionately in all areas.

Yours,

Jeff
