SONG OF SONGS 2:16-17 (2024)

SONG OF SONGS 2:16-17

My lover is mine and I am his;
He shepherds his flock among the lilies,
Before the dusk blows and the shadows flee,
Return, my lover, be like a gazelle
Or a young stag on the rugged hills.

---- mine,

Know that I AM God and I love you. Let this truth give your heart peace. Take courage for I, the Lord your God, have sought, found, and taken you to be My own. Walk with Me and remove from your heart all desire for things that would hinder you from belonging wholly to Me. In Me is life, joy, and peace in Me, you will draw near to the Kingdom of God for I AM the Gate that leads to union with God. Walk with Me, live in Me, remain in Me. As long as you are with Me you will find that though the path is narrow and difficult, the cross is heavy and you are weary, because I Am with You to help you,, the yoke will be sweet, and the burden light. Even though the path is rough it will not seem too difficult for My grace and presence will be sufficient to carry you and bring you to paths that are level and smooth. Stay with Me and I will carry you home to Myself to remain with Me forever.

TOBIT 8:15-16

 TOBIT 8:15-16

“May you be blessed, O Lord,
with all pure and holy blessings.
May the saints and all your creatures bless you.
May all the angels and the elect bless you forever.
May you be blessed for having filled me with joy.
What I feared has not happened,
but you have treated us with great kindness.
”

---- mine,

This is how you will praise and give thanks when I answer your prayers. You will no longer sigh, weep, and mourn for the day of rejoicing is coming. Do not lose heart, do not allow your spirit to be cast down, and let hope spring anew for I AM God and all that I have said I will do. Do not be discouraged because what I promised has not yet come to pass. Have faith when the time is right I will do all that I have assured you I will do until then pray with confidence and with expectation. The day of deliverance is at hand. Pray, hope, and fix your gaze on Me. I always keep My promises.
