“Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; Thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, With one chain of thy neck.”
Song of Solomon 4:9 KJV
The most amazing song by Solomon as prophetic of the divine romance between the Lord Jesus and His Bride. Christ tells His Bride that she reaches into His heart and with one flash of her eyes He is undone by her love and He calls her His beloved, His equal, His bride. She leaves Him breathless— He is overcome by merely a glance from her worshiping eyes, for she has stolen His heart. He is held hostage by her love and by the graces of righteousness shining upon Him. What a description of what happens to Jesus when He looks into the eyes of His Bride. The Bride’s worship brings Him such an ecstasy and delight that it becomes hard to even imagine. Yet God has placed inside of each of us the ability to ravish the heart of our King - not someday in heaven, but now, even when we feel incomplete and weak. The divine jewels around the Bride’s neck are the beautifying graces of righteousness that the Holy Spirit gives to the redeemed Bride of Christ. Let’s be always ready to worship Him and ravish His heart and let’s not be lukewarm about our love for our Lord Jesus. He has purchased us with His Blood. Let’s worship and adore Him!
