My Beloved My Friend

Scripture Song of Songs 5:16 His mouth is most sweet, Yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, And this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem!

Observation: As the Song of Songs go it is full of romantic phrases and the yearning of love, much like society today. One of the most important things in a marriage and a relationship is friendship. You can love someone, but not like them. It is important to develop a friendship, a friend is someone you go to, someone you want to spend time with and someone you respect.

Application: My wife is my best friend and I don’t know what I do without her. We are always there for each other and there is no one I would rather spend time with than her. Hopefully I’m getting close to retiring and I look forward to spending whatever time God is blessing me with my best friend

Prayer: My Lord I thank you for the precious gift of my wife. I truly love her and she is the first person I would go to confide in. I thank you for the bound you have created between us.
