Don’t wake love until you’re ready to live with it. Song of Solomon 2:7, 3:5, and 8:4 This theme is throughout the book. And it’s encouragement to you is plain: don’t imagine yourself to be in love when you’re not ready to deal with love’s consequences. The Bible instructs us in the ways of love, and to be honest, it’s a lot of responsibility, a responsibility for which the majority of us are not yet prepared. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love, in our world, is not treated in such a sacred way. Love is disposable, temporary, and not required to persevere. The message of Song of Solomon, as we’ve seen, is quite different. Heed these wise words, and don’t try to love when you do not understand what it means to love.
