Nancy DeMoss Walglemouth encourages you to worship Christ even when you don't feel like it.

It's so important that in seasons of spiritual dryness or separation from our beloved,

that we take time to recall what he is like, to verbalize his features,

by faith to praise him for what you have known to be true of him in the past, even

when you're not feeling those things at the moment.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Monday, March 14, 2016. Nancy's in the middle of the series,

How to Fall and Stay in Love with Jesus.

It's a study in the Song of Songs.

I hope you've been finding yourself in this story between a bridegroom, a picture of Christ and his bride.

Well, in the last session, we saw that the bride had spurned the initiative of her bridegroom.

She was slow to respond to his call, and when she finally got up to open the door to let him in,

he was gone. So she misses him and she sets out to find him, which is not an easy

thing as it turns out. She's misunderstood. It is the middle of the night after all and what are

respectable women doing out walking in the streets in the middle of the night. So she finally turns

to the daughters of Jerusalem, her friends, and enlist their help in finding him. And if they find

him, she says, can you please give him a message for me? Chapter 5, verse 8, I charge you,

O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him, I am lovesick. And then those daughters

of Jerusalem say to her in verse 9, what is your beloved more than another beloved, O fairest among women?

What is your beloved more than another beloved that you so charge us?

Or as the NIV says there, how is your beloved better than others?

What's so special about it?

There are lots of other men around here.
