As you read Chapter 1 of Song of Solomon keep in mind that in God there is no male or female. 

So read this as a love letter to you (young woman) from the (young man) the King of kings. 

Yes, guys... this is for you too!

Young Woman (You)

Kiss me and kiss me again for your love is sweeter than wine.
How pleasing is your fragrance; your name is like the spreading fragrance of scented oils. No wonder all the young women love you!
Take me with you; come, let’s run! The king has brought me into his bedroom.

Are you enchanted by His Love? 

Invite the Lover of your soul to come into an intimate relationship so that you may learn to long for Him.

Pause for a moment and ask yourself if you enjoy being in His Presence?

Allow Him to bring you into His chambers as you draw closer and deeper into His Word.

Young Women of Jerusalem

How happy we are for you, O king. We praise your love even more than wine. 

Let us praise the Lord for His glorious Love.

Young Woman (You)

How right they are to adore you. I am dark but beautiful, O women of Jerusalem, dark as the tents of Kedar, dark as the curtains of Solomon’s tents.
Don’t stare at me because I am dark, the sun has darkened my skin.
My brothers were angry with me; they forced me to care for their vineyards, so I couldn’t care for myself—my own vineyard.

Are you at times taken back by His attention and Favor towards You? And do you tell Him about your imperfections?

Tell me, my love, where are you leading your flock today? Where will you rest your sheep at noon? For why should I wander like a prostitute among your friends and their flocks?

Note the strong desire to be in His presence. 

Why do you think the word "prostitute" is used here? 

Do you have "friends and their flocks" that you need to call out of your life?

Young Man  (The Lord)

If you don’t know, O most beautiful woman, follow the trail of my flock, and graze your young goats by the shepherds’ tents.
You are as exciting, my darling, as a mare among Pharaoh’s stallions.
How lovely are your cheeks; your earrings set them afire!
How lovely is your neck, enhanced by a string of jewels.
We will make for you earrings of gold and beads of silver.

Look at the Lord's loving and gentle response to come and follow Him. 

Take a slow look at His words of how beautiful you are to Him and how He sees beauty and grace when He looks upon You. 

Allow His words to quiet any doubts or fears that You may have. 

Young Woman  (You)

The king is lying on his couch, enchanted by the fragrance of my perfume.
My lover is like a sachet of myrrh lying between my breasts. 

He is like a bouquet of sweet henna blossoms from the vineyards of En-gedi.

Such a wonderful picture of sweet fellowship and romance with the Lover of your soul when you are in communion with Him. 

How amazing and reassuring it is to know that You will always find His sweet fragrance whenever you are in prayer.  

Young Man  (The Lord)

How beautiful you are, my darling, how beautiful! Your eyes are like doves.

Allow the Lord to whisper these words to your heart and remind you of how much He loves You. As a child of God it is our desire is to be loved.

Young Woman  (You)

You are so handsome, my love, pleasing beyond words! The soft grass is our bed; fragrant cedar branches are the beams of our house, and pleasant smelling firs are the rafters.

A beautiful expression of a true intimate relationship and love for one another. 

Do you long for such a relationship?  

Invite God to come into your heart and ask Him to help you to commit to drawing closer to Him. 

Your walk and your prayer life will bring these things into your Heart as your relationship with Him grows deeper. 

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.   1 John 3:1
