Love and Relationships, Day 2

How do you describe your beloved? Read Song of Songs 1:9-17.

As the two lovers are talking back and forth, it strikes me how they talk to each other. They are describing each other with words of affection and love. They are sharing the things they value and how they see each other.

Whether we are newly in a relationship or have been married for several years, the way we talk about each other matters. Are we building each other up, or tearing each other down? How do we talk about each other? When I speak about my husband, anyone who hears should be able to tell how much I love and value him.

Similarly, how do we talk about God in our lives? Does our relationship with him even come up? And if so, do we describe it with the same level of love and passion? Our words are a reflection of our heart. What are they reflecting today?
