His Desire

Song of Songs 7:10 (NIV)

10 I belong to my beloved, and his desire is for me.

Here is the attitude of the believer towards the Lord; we know that His desire is towards us. Many times we see His statutes, commandments and guidelines as barbed wire fences, hemming us in, keeping us from what we “want”.

We see a scowl of disapproval, a Judge narrowly looking at us. Perhaps, in a rebellious moment, this may be true; yet His overall attitude is always one of desire.

His deep yearning – His desire is towards us is to have us spend time with Him. Herein is an initiative to live godly; that we may be “clean” in order to fulfill His desire to be close, having an intimate and deep relationship with us.
