Song of Songs 2:8-13 | Rev. Dr. R. Brandon Harris | Though we might seldom think of passion in the context of our relationship with God, God actually appreciates it when we are passionate about him. After all, he is passionate about us. The love of God is more passionate than we often give God credit for. When we respond to God's love and reciprocate, we honor God and develop an intimacy that is sustaining and life changing.
