Song of Songs 8:6 Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is a strong as death, its ardor unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.
I realize they ways this book gets interpreted. When I read it, I am simply reminded of all of the different types of love relationships I have and how they all are intertwined into this book at some point. Today as I read, I thought of my mom; the love she has for us and vice versa. Her love for us is visible to those around us because she has taught us how to love. It is a seal on our arms for all to see. I was also able to make the connection with her in that, when she does go to be with Jesus whether soon or in the near future, her love will outshine her earthly death by so very far. I also thought of the love of my dad. I feel as though his love is a seal over our hearts. He is continually protecting us and watching over our every step, even though we are fully independent individuals. This is a beautiful act of love. I feel the same way with my sisterly love from Liz. Being the "little sister", I know she cares for me in a very protective way and doesn't ever stop. And then there's Dalton, my husband. I have to admit, I see him in this too, however, that's probably the obvious one. The mighty flame, always burning, in my mind, in a quiet calm place. That is what Dalton brings. A calmness to my calamity through the love he offers. On earth, it takes all four of these people to make the love word complete. However, when it comes to God, He is all of this in one; love is completely embodied in Him. He is all I need. But, thanks be to Him for giving me these four people to love me in the unconditional ways He does.
