Love as Strong as Death

t doesn't have the stuff of Hallmark card or a cheesy teddy bear greeting, but today's title is perfect for Valentine's Day in my humble opinion. Another one of those hidden gems within Song of Solomon (8:6 to be exact), it stresses dramatically just how strong love actually is. Death is the one thing that defeats us all. That is pretty strong. (Thankfully we are all saved by grace through faith so that we might have eternal life in heaven after our temporal one ends).

That is why I think it is the perfect way to describe how I feel about my wife this Valentine's Day. My love for her IS as strong as death. It conquers EVERY obstacle, EVERY disagreement, EVERY shortcoming, we come across in our marraige and I remain steadfast and confident that I will love her until I die. Happy Valentine's Day, my sister, my bride, my love! God Bless You and Keep You In His Peace this week.
