「 Greatly Blessed, Highly Favoured, Deeply Loved 7:29 PM 」

The Shulamite

I am dark, but lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem,

Like the tents of Kedar, Like the curtains of Solomon. Do not look upon me, because I am dark,

Because the sun has tanned me.

The Beloved

If you do not know, O fairest among women,

Follow in the footsteps of the flock,

And feed your little goats

Beside the shepherds’ tents.

(Song of Solomon 1:5-8)

Certainly God speaks to me. Just as I was feeling very conscious of myself due to my specs and also I began to feel annoyed when there was a black man that accidentally knocked my shoulders on my way to church. I was so surprised and guilty of my reaction cause it has been years since I last felt so annoyed. Like usually I am not bothered about small things like that. Then I just felt so condemned that I reacted in such a nasty manner.

And certainly, Pastor Prince preached about the Song of Solomon where the bride is speaking to the bridegroom. We are the bride and Jesus is the bridegroom. In this verse, the bride was saying that she is dark like the tents of Kedar (Kedar's tent are like black in colour) yet she is lovely as the curtains of Solomon (which is really beautiful). Yet, she is more conscious of the fact that she is dark as seen from the verses behind.

All along, it was her that is speaking, but when she asked the bridegroom where He feed the flock and rest them, He replied for the first time," If you do not know, O fairest among women...". Notice in this verse, Despite the fact that she thinks she is dark, yet He calls her fairest among women (most beautiful among all women in NIV). Just as we are the bride, we are the fairest in His eyes and we ought to be conscious of that. I ought not be conscious of my specs or whatsoever, but be conscious of His glory and beauty in me.

And also the fact that I felt annoyed sometimes, its just because I am living in this fallen world, and am in flesh. Though my bad habits have been taken away through the cross, yet there is inclinations that exist just because I live in this world. Just like how our ears still hear the rings of a bell even though the bell stops ringing, so are our bad habits. Yet do not feel condemn, but know that God is our righteousness. And we are His righteousness. There is no condemnation in Christ. And when I know that, I just am not bothered about small things like these again.
