Song of Solomon 8:6
Song of Solomon 8:6
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm.
Love is often seen as an emotion or a fleeting feeling, but the Bible reveals love as a powerful and enduring commitment. The phrase "Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm" speaks to the deep, permanent bond that love creates between two people. A seal in ancient times was used to mark something as official, unique, and unbreakable. When we ask God to set His love as a seal upon our hearts and arms, we are acknowledging that His love should be the foundation of all that we do. This love is not easily swayed by circumstances, nor does it fade with time. It is the kind of love that is committed, steadfast, and willing to endure all things. It is a love that doesn’t give up, even when challenges arise. This love also bears the mark of righteousness, as it is rooted in God’s holy and perfect love. It inspires us to live in harmony with His will, marking our hearts and actions with peace, righteousness, and commitment. In a world where relationships can be fragile and easily broken, God’s love stands as the ultimate model of unwavering devotion. This love should be the seal upon our hearts, not only in our relationships with others but in our relationship with God, guiding our every step.
Luke 5:20
And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Ephesians 4:2
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
1 John 4:12
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
