I study the Song of Solomon every year, four years running, usually for 3-4 months at a time, and every year towards the close of my study, I close everything down, and go back to this verse.
"...For Your Love is better than wine"
In fact, I have a song I sing, and its on the player on this page actually, where I sing this part over and over, and oh how it refreshes me!
"And all of my days, I will remember, I will remember that His love, it is better...Though other lovers come and try to tell me there's something more I need,oh my soul, remember...His love is better than wine, His love is better than life..."
Have you discovered a taste of this love? Have you tapped into that place where when His presence comes over you, you feel like, "YES! this is it! I never want to leave this place! I'm gonna camp out here forever!!! Ahhh!" That touch of His love is what I long to remember everyday when I don'f feel Him. When I'm tired, sick, hurting, and I say, "God!! Where are You?"
So again I sing it out, I speak and confess with my mouth until my heart believes, that YES, His love IS better than anything!

I love the simplicity of what you brought to this verse. So simply stated, yet so profound. I too will remember that His love is far better than wine. Thanks for linking up!
