Dear Daphne,

Hello! Hello! How are you? Nawalan ng pasok ang MI from June 24 to today. Classes will resume on Monday.

Anyway,
Two nights ago, I read Solomon's Song of Songs... I've read it before in college. I didn't understand it then. Plus, it was so boring.

But two nights ago... GRABE. It had a new meaning. Literally, words cannot explain how happy I am to know that I am so loved. I was inspired, too, by how the woman was captured by the love of the man, so much that she never stops looking for him, even when she can't find him. That the moment she hears his voice, she'll excitedly get up to meet him. I was so inspired by her desire to see the man. Why is she that captured? Why is her hunger so much?

chapter 6 verse 10 implies that if you are loved by Jesus,  you are as pretty as the moon, bright as the sun, and wonderful as an army flying flags (victorious!) !

And how could you not respond to the love of God, when He has this sweet invitation "Get up my darling, let's go away my beautiful one." (chapter 2 verse 10)

And because the woman responded to the man, and got so in love too, her friends got very interested that they desired to look for the man, and know him too.

I can only imagine how in love God is to me, to you.  That no matter how dark and unworthy I am, he would see me perfect. Not because of who I am, of course. But all because of who He is.  How can He not capture my heart? How can I not be in love with Him? I must be blind if I couldn't see how having a relationship with Him would bring so much joy and honor, and happiness! 

I hope you're doing well. Stay in love, too.

Love,
Tal
