					<description><![CDATA[A brief pause here, to share a lesson I learned this week. As it often happens, it's related to where we are in the Song of Songs. It is:

<b><i>Telling others too much, too soon.</i></b>

Doing so may feel good in the moment, but the results do not!

Think about it. Declaring <i>“he brought me into his chambers"</i> (1:4) was a true statement for the Shulamite, but it brought out the immaturity and hidden jealousy of the young women who heard her. 

They immediately scanned her for faults. They judged her unworthy of a high calling. And they were closed off from rejoicing with her. 

In the next post we’ll look at the stunning way she responded. (Sorry, I don’t mean to keep dangling that!) :-)

But meanwhile I got to thinking...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The last post about “being brought into His chamber” was heavy, I know, and long. I don’t make any apologies for it, as everything isn’t for everybody, and it helped bring things together for me, in my Spirit. I’m not always able to make things easy for other people to understand. Call it a writing style, or whatnot, but sometimes after the fact I hear someone else put it into less, more succinct words, and I’m like, “Ahhh, perfect! So much simpler!” :-)

Like the following, which I give credit to another author for writing. Forgiving some of the religious language whose overuse has become problematic in my opinion, I think you’ll get the overall gist.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[After violently pushing through competing lovers and loves, the Shulamite is finally in a place where she could be close enough to Solomon to be kissed by Him. It’s all she wants. She knows from experience that His expressions of love bring her joy and satisfaction, more than the best wine can ever do.  

But first, she is instantly overwhelmed with Solomon’s fragrance. It is an anointing cologne that the king wears that is unique to him, made up of costly spices. 

She breathes it in deeply, memorizing each of its bold, yet subtle nuances. One of the spices she recognizes is Myrrh. It fills her with emotions. Memories of her father’s death. And memories of King David’s death. ]]></description>
