can you say this?

The Song of Solomon sermon series came to an end at church today. But not until another profound question was presented to the women....married and single. So, I feel somewhat obligated to pass it along to you. This question came in the talk about this couple's ENDURING LOVE....how it is PROVIDENTIAL, FOCUS, STRONG, ENDURING AND PERSONAL. Specifically, this is in regards to focus.

Song of Solomon 8:6
"Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm..."

She is saying this to her husband. She is saying, "I want to be known as yours - (not in a property sort of way-but more like others know who you are and who I am to you). No one needs to have access to the deepest part of you - because I want to be that person."

Heavy stuff. She wants to be known as his. She wants no one else to be known by him like she is. She wants to go deep with this guy and be vulnerable with him so that he can know the deepest parts of her. No secrets, no guessing, just pure honest vulnerability. Scary. Exciting.

Here's the question for the day:
Married women - Could you honestly say that (place me like a seal over your heart) to your husband today?
Single women - Are you prepared to say that to someone?

All you ladies independent.....well, it seems like that line is not all good. But I am seeing how there can be a huge amount of freedom found in the midst of dependency in a marriage.
