Summary
Song of Solomon Series: From Raven to Dove
What does it mean to truly love and be loved? In Song of Solomon 1:9-15, we discover pure love - the kind that makes you stand out like a treasured mare among royal chariots.
But here's the problem: we're broken. We're attracted to what hurts instead of what's beautiful. Like restless ravens, we fly to and fro, refusing Christ's adornment and rejecting his fragrance for our own stench.
Christ transforms our wandering hearts into something still and fragrant - turning us from ravens into doves. He quiets our restless souls and fills us with his aroma.
The question is: what do your eyes reveal about the condition of your heart? Are they raven eyes or dove eyes?
Key Takeaways:
* Pure love means standing out in someone's eyes
* Our broken senses are attracted to stench instead of fragrance
* Christ adorns us with grace and makes us still
* Transformation happens when we stop flying restlessly and return to him
Based on Song of Solomon 1:9-15 and Genesis 8
