If you want a word picture of our wedding to Jesus, look no further than the Song of Solomon. Chapter 3 begins with the progression from when we were lost, longing for the perfect love to make sense of this world, as we aimlessly search for it in the emptiness. We didn’t find it in a lifestyle, money, work, or anything that most people find pleasure in. It wasn’t until we found Jesus that we realized that there was nothing else as satisfying as his love for us. We can see Jesus in this depiction of Solomon.

Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant? Song of Solomon 3:6

The fragrance of His beauty is like no other, making him the person of our desire, taking him into our hearts; we cling to him, never wanting to return to living the way we did before our salvation. Be ready. He built a chariot that will hold all of us, so when that day comes, and He calls us to himself, we will take that royal ride forever.

It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me. Song of Solomon 3:4
