Day 7: How Beautiful is Your Love, My Sister, My Spouse!  

How much better than wine is your love, and the scent of your perfumes than all spices!” (Song of Solomon 4:10) 

Wow, Jesus is now saying to you: how beautiful is your love. He calls you His spouse. 

This is the most unfathomable topic we could ever discuss. Not only are we blown away by His beauty, He’s blown away by ours! He sees you as the beautiful bride He created you to be. When God looks at you, He sees you like Jesus. It’s a mystery: God is our Father, yet Jesus is our spouse. It’s the best of all relationships. He’s the best of what any father, husband, brother, or friend could be to you. And at various times in our lives, we need Him to be each of those things to us.  

When you discover the love of God, He gives you the perfection you could never get from another person. There are imperfections within even the best of relationships. You can never have perfect love—a love so deep it casts fear completely out of your life. No matter how much a man loves his wife, he cannot cast out all her fears, heal her insecurities, or completely satisfy the loneliness and emptiness inside of her. God allows imperfections in our relationships so we will always be aware of our need for Him. 

While another’s love for us is incomplete, His love for us is complete. It is dramatic. It is fierce. It stops at nothing. The love of God is invincible. It can’t be stopped, defeated, overwhelmed, overtaken, or ruled out. There is no law against it. 

Consider again, this marvelous description of God’s love for you: 

Love is invincible facing danger and death. Passion laughs at the terrors of hell. The fire of love stops at nothing—it sweeps everything before it. Flood waters can’t drown love, torrents of rain can’t put it out . Song of Solomon 8:7 (Message)

The force of His love stops at nothing. It keeps driving away your past, worries, fears. It sweeps away everything before it—demons, difficulties, weaknesses, shortcomings, failures, and disappointments.
