Scripture

She 3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste. 4 Let him lead me to the banquet hall, and let his banner over me be love. 5 Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love. 6 His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me. 7 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.Song of Songs 2:3-7
3 All night long on my bed I looked for the one my heart loves; I looked for him but did not find him. 2 I will get up now and go about the city, through its streets and squares; I will search for the one my heart loves. So I looked for him but did not find him. 3 The watchmen found me as they made their rounds in the city. “Have you seen the one my heart loves?” 4 Scarcely had I passed them when I found the one my heart loves. I held him and would not let him go till I had brought him to my mother’s house, to the room of the one who conceived me. 5 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.Song of Songs 3:1–5

Confession

Christ, our Redeemer and King, From heaven, Your covenant love sought out Your people. Rather than leave us to our despair, You bring healing and reconciliation. Forgive us for pursuing the things that bring death. Instill in us a desire for Your presence. Capture our hearts. Center our minds. Teach us to love as You have loved us. We know that You are with us. Grow our wisdom, as You shape us into who You’re calling us to be. Amen.
