I found him whom my soul loveth:
I held him, and would not let him go.Song of Solomon 3:4
"Does Christ receive us when we come to him, notwithstanding all our past sinfulness?
Does he never chide us for having tried all other refuges first?
And is there none on earth like him?
Is he the best of all the good, the fairest of all the fair?
Oh, then let us praise him!
Daughters of Jerusalem, extol him with timbrel and harp!
Down with your idols, up with the Lord Jesus.
Now let the standards of pomp and pride be trampled under foot, but let the cross of Jesus,
which the world frowns and scoffs at,
be lifted on high.
How can it be that I have thought so little of him?
Bid him set thee as a signet upon his finger, and as a bracelet upon his arm. Ask him to bind thee about him, as the bride decketh herself with ornaments, and as the bridegroom putteth on his jewels."
Charles Spurgeon
