My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies
— Song of Solomon 2:16
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
— Galatians 2:20
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
— James 2:23
You Will Never Come to the Bottom of These Depths, by Robert Murray McShane.
Yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend.
Song of Solomon 5:16 b-e
Learn much of the Lord Jesus, for every look at yourself, take ten looks at Christ. Such infinite majesty, and yet such meekness and grace, and all for sinners, even the chief.
Unfathomable oceans of grace are in Christ for you. Dive and dive again. You will never come to the bottom of these depths. Yes, He is altogether lovely.
Live much in His smiles, bask in His beams. Feel His all-seeing eye settled on you in love, and repose in His almighty arms. Live near to Him, and all worldly things will appear little to you in comparison.
Lord, make me as holy as a pardoned sinner can be.
