https://netbible.org/bible/Song+of+Solomon+5-8/

This is day 204 of our journey.

Song of Solomon continues with the two lovers praising and seeking each other. In one instance, the beloved initially rejects her lover's advances, but when he leaves, she changes her mind and seeks for him throughout town. When they come back together there is great joy at the sight of one other.

Chapter 8 gives a closing refrain about the power and strength of love. "Love is as strong as death... Surging waters cannot quench love; floodwaters cannot overflow it."

Join my wife and I in Song of Solomon 5-8 and drink deeply of love!

Key verses:

Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel. The locks of your hair are like royal tapestries – the king is held captive in its tresses!
