Song of Songs 2:16 My beloved is mine and I am his; he browses among the lilies.
The Song of Songs can literally be referred to as “lovers love lane”. Its made of love and romantic expression both by the lover and beloved. The lover utters mystical relationship possession that the beloved is hers and in turn she is his. What a proclamation to melt loneliness and forsake, while building ownage !
The church represents the bride of Christ , purchased and made holy for Him.
And as the song writer puts it:
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine,
Oh what a foretaste of glory Divine! Heir of salvation, purchased of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.(Golden Bells – 305)
We need not feel forsaken or neglected despite continuous effort from other suitors to separate us from our bridegroom. Having Jesus presents such a nice bridal experience of the soul as the believer lives in fellowship with the Savior. For He remains in us and we in Him (john 15:4)
