Daughters of Jerusalem

Song of Solomon

2:7 "Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires."

3:5 "Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires."

5:8 "Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you – if you find my beloved, what will you tell him? Tell him I am faint with love."

8:4 "Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires."


We are His daughters. We are His. A dream was spoken and a charge given. We have a responsibility. So who is it that we are to be in love with? Who are we to keep our eyes on?
