I am My Beloved's - Song of Songs 7:10

In the book of Song of Songs, Solomon shared how the groom said to the bride, “the roof of your mouth like the best wine for my beloved”, and she responded, “that goes down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak”, and in chapter seven and verse ten of Song of Songs, Solomon shared how the bride said, “I am my beloved's” where we read,

I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me. 

The verse reads, “I am my beloved's, ...” Solomon began with the words, “I am” or “I, the bride, exist as” “my beloved's” which means “my, the bride's, well-loved groom”. Solomon shared how the bride stated that she belonged to her well-loved groom

The verse continues, “... and his desire is toward me.” Solomon added the words, “and his desire” or “and his, the groom's, longing and craving” “is toward me” or “exists in the direction of me, the bride”. Solomon shared how the bride said the groom's passion, craving and longing was in her direction. 

When we think through the words in this verse, we learn through Solomon how the bride stated again how she belonged to her well-loved groom, (See Song of Songs 2:16; 6:3) and she knew his craving was in her direction. She was admired, valued and wanted, and the same may be said for the way God loves us. He proved His love toward us when He sent His Son Jesus into the world to die on the cross for the sins of all mankind, and when we yield our lives to Him as our “Savior and Lord”, He will forgive our sins, grant us everlasting life and demonstrate how He is ours and His passion is toward us throughout eternity. 

Next time Solomon shares how the bride says, “let us go forth into the field” so read ahead, and we shall join together then.

Until tomorrow…there is more…
