Love
When I approached the Lord in prayer, I relate to him in different way. Occasionally I talk with him as my elder brother, which he is. If I'm under spiritual attach, I'll go to him in prayer as the certain of my soul. He is my friend when I went to pour out my heart. I even have single friends who look up to the Lord as their husband, as it says in Isiah 54:5.
Lately, I've enjoyed relating to my Savior as the lover of my soul. And when I want to tell the Lord how much I adore him, I use the language of love in the Song of Songs. This beautiful book of the Bible is more than just a love poem; it's a picture of the love relatiionship between the bridegroom and his bride.
From your heart, tell Jesus that he is the fairest of ten thousand. Praise him for being altogether lovely. Let him know that his love is better than wine. He is the rose of Sharon, the lily of the valley.
