Banner of Love

Song of Solomon 1-4 Just like we hang a banner outside to reveal a home’s theme, God’s Banner, which reads “LOVE,” hangs over us to show that inside are those who belong to the Savior. How beautifully is the banner that reveals God’s untarnished and pure love for His own. Solomon, as the author, hangs his banner over the one for whom he loves and loves with tenderness and compassion. The words are reflected in the love the Savior has for the ones He calls. Long ago, Jeremiah wrote these words to the children of Israel and us today: “I have loved you with an everlasting love. That is why I have continued to be faithful to you.” [Jere 31:3] Again in the NT are these words: “But “when the kindness of God our Savior and his love for mankind appeared,” [Titus 3:4] and 1Jo 4:19 “We love because he loved us first.”

Treasure that love today as God pours it over you as His Banner to the world that you belong to Him.
