Hello Beloved!

Today I was reading Spiritual Canticle of the Soul by John of the Cross. One stanza hit my heart like a flaming spear and caused me to groan. Needless to say I was blessed and my prayer is that you shall be as well.

Stanza XI
Reveal Your presence,
And let the vision and Your beauty kill me.
Behold the malady
Of love is incurable
Except in Your presence and before Your face.


Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth--for Your love is better than wine. Because of the fragrance of Your good ointments, Your name is ointment poured forth... (Song of Solomon 1:1-3)

Great Grace!

"Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is as strong as death, jealousy as cruel as the grave; its flames are flames of fire, a most vehement flame. Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it. If a man would give for love all the wealth of his house, it would be utterly despised." (Song of Solomon 7:6-7)
