Love Songs

1 The Song of Songs, which is Solomon's.She: 2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!For your love is better than wine; 3 your anointing oils are fragrant; your name is oil poured out; therefore virgins love you.4 Draw me after you; let us run.The king has brought me into his chambers.
Song of Solomon 1:1-4



The Bible celebrates physical attraction in dating and marriage



The Bible reminds us there are more important things than physical appearance



Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Proverbs 31:30



She: 5 I am very dark, but lovely,O daughters of Jerusalem,
like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon. 6 Do not gaze at me because I am dark, because the sun has looked upon me.
My mother's sons were angry with me; they made me keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have not kept!
Song of Solomon 1:5-6



He: 8 If you do not know, O most beautiful among women,follow in the tracks of the flock, and pasture your young goats beside the shepherds' tents.9 I compare you, my love, to a mare among Pharaoh's chariots.10 Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.
Song of Solomon 1:8-10



When is the last time you delighted in God?
