One the the wisest kings in ancient Israel was named Solomon. One of his poetic books called The “Song of Solomon” or the “Song of Songs” It is the love song above all love songs, because it is the love song inspired by God to give us His perspective on love and romance, on courtship and marriage. Near the end of the story, we read these words spoken by Shulamite, the bride of young King Solomon:
“…Mighty waters cannot quench love, nor can floods drown it..”
This describes love as
strong…
unquenchable…..
unstoppable….
unconquerable.
What I have come to discover now more than ever is that the bottom line is that love is what a person chooses to do, not what a person chooses to feel. Love is a verb (what you do) more than a noun (a feeling).Many people say that they don’t feel the love that they once did for their mate. They fell “out of love” but the truth is there is really no falling out of or falling into love. We can fall out of bed or fall in the bathtub but typically we grow to love someone over time…. and when love is genuine and sincere and real and lasting..it doesn’t matter what comes at it…it will stand the test of time and storms. Don’t settle for anything less than that.
