Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth [S.S. 1:2a]
Let’s pray that our love be profound enough to transform our life in every aspect. Let’s move from prayer where we want something from Him, to worship and adoration. Let the object of prayer be not we, but He. He should be the focus of our attention. Let’s also advance from a relationship to the dynamic state of communion. Let’s seek Him with a prayer about Him. We need to lessen seeking the things of Him and shift the focus to seeking Him. The wisdom is to go after Him and to hunger for more of Him with an ever-increasing measure. Remember that we excel in life by falling in His love and living His love at a deeper level.
Notice that she is not satisfied with just one kiss. The kiss-and-ride kind of kiss is not the issue here. She wants the kind where one has to take time. She is praying for kisses – kiss after kiss. That is, she longs to be totally absorbed by Him, more importantly all the time.
We may be tempted to settle with only old love memories we had in time past with our Lord. That is not the normal Christian life. As we follow her in the book of Song of Songs, she leaps from one love experience into a more glorious love experience. Yes, temporal setbacks are a fact of life she is not exempt as we all are. However, she doesn’t stop growing in His love and deepening her relationship with the Lord. She is into the love journey of a lifetime. She commits her will into loving and knowing Him more and more for the rest of her life on continuous basis. Why is she in so much love and in need of Him? Why did she not pray for stuff instead? Fortunately, she didn’t leave us in the dark, as she explains next which will be our discussion for next week.
