In Love Notes from God Part 1, three love messages from God through the amazing Song of Songs book in the Bible were highlighted for you. I hope that those words of affirmation uplifted you and reminded you of how very precious you are to God. In this post there are 3 additional love notes from that same book of the Bible that will further enrich your heart and soul.
Love Note #4: God champions your inner strength and secure identity in Him!
“When I look at you, I see your inner strength, so stately and strong, you are as secure as David’s fortress.”
Song of Songs 4:4a (TPT)
Due to our limited vision beyond the physical, we are sometimes too quick to judge others based on their exterior presentation. We certainly can take some lessons from our heavenly Father, who always looks beyond our physical composure or lack thereof - to see what really lies within. And you know what He sees in you today? Inner strength, grace, a
daughter who is secure in who she is.
Friend, adjust your lens and see yourself how your loving Father sees you!
Love Note #5: God says your season of hiding is over and gone!
“The season has changed, the bondage of your barren winter has ended and the season of hiding is over and gone.”
Song of Songs 2:11 (TPT)
Those of us in parts of the world with dreary winter seasons can appreciate the barrenness that is referenced in this verse. From the winter storms to the dangerous road conditions and dead vegetation, very little in winter is visibly rejuvenating.
Those are the pictures that come to mind through the analogy in this excerpt today; and yet amidst the dreary circumstances God is declaring to all of us, that the hard seasons in our life are transitioning. He is declaring with confidence that can be counted on, that your life, our lives, will bear fruit again. We no longer will have to hide out in shame, or cower in disappointment - but instead with our heads held high stand square-shouldered in who He has called us to be.
Go ahead, Fix your posture.
Love Note #6: God in You = Unstoppable!
“Together we will wage war in the lion’s den and the leopard’s lair.”
Song of Songs 4:8b (TPT)
The kind of battles that we need to engage in to keep living a meaningful life will require an inexhaustible source of strength which can only be found in God. Many times after striving needlessly, we come to the surprising realization that the accomplishments we strive for outside of His blessing pale in comparison to the glorious productivity we can experience with Him. And the victory we so desperately need, over sickness and pain of all kinds - can be found when we partner with our Abba Father.
Do remember, that regardless of how things look externally, with God, it’s ALWAYS a win in the long run and your heavenly Father loves you every single step of your adventurous life journey.
