I Am Still

Today, I read the first three chapters of the Song of Solomon, and it surprised me. I didn't know that it was a love story. Well, I had an idea that it might be a love story, but I wasn't entirely sure because I had never read it. Not only was it a love story, but it was also poetic and beautiful, like many other books in the Bible.

I liked that the story was told from different perspectives: the husband, the wife, and the women in Jerusalem, to name a few. While reading, I noticed that the couple spoke to each other with respect and thought highly of each other.

Reading about their relationship made me reflect on my own, and I realized that my husband and I haven't been building each other up as much as we should.

I also realized that, as a Christian, I want to be more mindful of my words. I want to live a life that is pleasing in the sight of God despite my shortcomings, and I hope this encourages others to come to God and build up everyone around them, even when it's difficult.
