Gods Love is Stronger Today's Devotional Read: Song of Songs 8:6–7 Bible in a Year: Psalms 46–48; Acts 28 Love is as strong as death. Song of Songs 8:6 In 2020, Alyssa Mendoza received a surprising email from her father in the middle of the night. The message had instructions about what to do for her mother on her parents’ twenty-fifth anniversary. Why was this shocking? Alyssa’s father had passed away ten months earlier. She discovered that he’d written and scheduled the email while he was sick, knowing he might not be there. He’d also arranged and paid for flowers to be sent to his wife for upcoming years on her birthday, future anniversaries, and Valentine’s Day. This story could stand as an example of the kind of love that’s described in detail in Song of Songs. “Love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave” (8:6). Comparing graves and death to love seems odd, but they’re strong because they don’t give up their captives. However, neither will true love give up the loved one. The book reaches its peak in verses 6–7, describing marital love as one so strong that “many waters cannot quench [it]” (v. 7). Throughout the Bible, the love of a husband and wife is compared to God’s love (Isaiah 54:5; Ephesians 5:25; Revelation 21:2). Jesus is the groom and the church is His bride. God showed His love for us by sending Christ to face death so we wouldn’t have to die for our sins (John 3:16). Whether we’re married or single, we can remember that God’s love is stronger than anything we could imagine. How do you feel knowing how much God loves you? What reminds you of His love for you? Dear Jesus, thank You for loving me so much! Remind me of Your love each day and give me glimpses of it.

I am in awe of God's love. BTW, did you realize that for a blog to show up on the blog page, it has to have a comment? I have you on my watched list, so I can see it, but it doesn't show up for everyone else until I (or someone else) makes a comment. When we write a blog, we add the first comment, even if it's just one word. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Song of Songs 'Love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave' (8:6) hold much personal meaning for me. Very powerful.

When considering love & strength one must always consider the ladies bra. It gently caresses & holds up two milk factories simultaneously. Pray On!
