Song of Songs 5:10-6:3 - My lover is radiant and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand. His head is purest gold; his hair is wavy and black as a raven. His eyes are like doves by the water streams, washed in milk, mounted like jewels. His cheeks are like beds of spice yielding perfume. His lips are like lilies dripping with myrrh. His arms are rods of gold set with chrysolite. His body is like polished ivory decorated with sapphires. His legs are pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as its cedars. His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely. This is my lover, this my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. Where has your lover gone, most beautiful of women? Which way did your lover turn, that we may look for him with you? My lover has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to browse in the gardens and to gather lilies. I am my lover's and my lover is mine; he browses among the lilies.
Ezekiel 1:16 - This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel.
Song of Songs 2:16 - My lover is mine and I am his; he browses among the lilies.
Conclusions:
- The lover and the beloved belong to each other exclusively in a relationship that allows no intrusion
- Does my relationship with my wife disallow any intrusions other than my God?
- Can I do the things necessary to have my wife perceive me this way after over 20 years of marriage?...hmmmmmmmm…
