Sweet Spring



Did you know? Your voice is sweet and soothing to the Lord.


Song of Solomon 2:14-15 – So I went with Him, and when we were climbing the rocky steps up the hillside, my beloved shepherd said to me, “O my dove, while you are here in the seclusion of the clefts in the solid rock, in the sheltered and secret place of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice, for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.”


My heart was touched and I fervently sang to Him my desire, “Catch the foxes for us, the little foxes that are ruining the vineyards, for our vineyards are in blossom.” [AMP/NASB]


Let your prayer time be a sweet communion with the Spirit of God, a time of soothing, of savoring, of breathing Him in and breathing out your praise. Let him carry you away into His Presence – hidden, sweet, refreshing, jubilant with life and power for great living. His Kingdom is upon you. Rise up into it and live as the prince or the princess He has designed you to be.



“My Lover-King has arrived and he's speaking to me! Get up, my dear friend, fair and beautiful lover—come to me! Look around you: Winter is over; the winter rains are over, gone! Spring flowers are in blossom all over. The whole world's a choir—and singing! Spring warblers are filling the forest with sweet arpeggios. Lilacs are exuberantly purple and perfumed, and cherry trees fragrant with blossoms. Oh, get up, dear friend, my fair and beautiful lover—come to me! Come, my shy and modest dove— leave your seclusion, come out in the open. Let me see your face, let me hear your voice. For your voice is soothing and your face is ravishing.”


“Then you must protect me from the foxes, foxes on the prowl, Foxes who would like nothing better than to get into our flowering garden. My lover is mine, and I am his. Nightly he strolls in our garden, delighting in the flowers.” – SOS 2:10-16 [The Message]


He’s the Bringer of the Spring. Rest in Him – and be surprised by His love!

Oh, oh, oh! YES! I love that part also--to think He loves to hear my voice and to see my face! Especially relevant as I've faced a hard year and struggled last summer with a great deal of loneliness. But my Father loves to hear from me.

I just so love the book of the Song of Solomon! It is such a revealer of the incredible love the Lord has for His people.
