BELOVED
Today's reading: Song of Solomon 2:16 NLT

"My beloved is mine, and I am his..." Song of Solomon 2:16 KJV

I can mostly process the concept of being God's beloved one.

He made me.

He put His finest efforts, time and detail into me.

He chose me as His and He brought His Son into the world to save me from myself.

I kind of get it.

What I have a hard time wrapping my head around is this--He is mine, too.

Oh, I know He is my Savior. My Deliverer. My Friend. My Strong Tower.

But He is as much mine as I am His.

Doesn't seem fathomable.

Seems like a very unequally yoked relationship.

He has so much to offer me--and I'm, well, I'm just me.

But He is content with that. He is okay with it. He knew it would be this way and He knows it won't change, no matter how many good things I do.

My beloved is mine and I am His!
