Verses:

 

Mark 12:30 “…You shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart and from your whole soul and from your whole mind and from your whole strength.”

 

Excerpts:

 

The way to enjoy and experience Christ as life is found in the Song of Songs. The way to enjoy Christ as life is simply to love Him as a wonderful person. The seeking one takes this lovely One as her life within and her living without by loving Him. Oh, we must love such a wonderful person! He will become our talk, our walk, our attitude, our expression, our everything! He will become not only our life within but also our living without. “To me, to live is Christ.” This is the Song of Songs. If a person really loves the Lord, there will be a continual growth and change in life.

 

All the time [the seeking ones in the Song of Songs] is growing, changing, and being transformed. What a transformation—from a mare to a dove! From a dove to pillars of smoke! From the pillars of smoke to the bed! From the bed to a palanquin! And from the palanquin to a crown! In all these figures we can see the growth in life of such a seeking one. It is not by teaching, and it is not by gifts. In John 2 many people saw the miracles done by the Lord and believed in Him. We should not be miracle appraisers but person appraisers—those who love and seek after the Lord Himself. Then there will be the growth in life and the transformation of life. (Life and Building as Portrayed in the Song of Songs, ch. 5)
