Sacred Love - Adoration

Song of Solomon 2:8-3:5   From Desire to Adoration . . .   For Her There is a sense of excitement and anticipation in hearing his voice and being in his presence.  For Him 1.  There is a strong desire to be with and pursue her. ·         He takes the initiative; He is the pursuer. ·         It is a desire, not an obligation.               In Dating or Courtship . . . ·         Is our dating relationship right biblically? ·         Is our dating relationship honoring Christ? ·         Do we have the same essential beliefs? ·         Does he/she know Christ and is he/she growing as a follower of Jesus? ·         Does he honor me?  Does she honor me? ·         Do we have fun with one another? ·         Can we accept each other’s faults? ·         Do we desire to spend our lives with each other for life? ·         Am I ready to be in serious relationship?               Dating should grow you, not drain you.   In Marriage . . . ·         Are you still dating your spouse? ·         Does your relationship communicate desire or obligation?   2.  There is a strong desire to know her intimately, which involves vulnerability.    ·         You will love only as deeply as you are willing to be vulnerable (trust). o   What are you doing to show her you are deserving of her trust?  ·         For those who are dating, as you become vulnerable, guard what is pure. ·         Awakening love too soon will destroy intimacy. (2:15)   For Her and Him . . . There is a strong level of commitment to one another.  (2:16)   Final Thoughts . . .
