“Love’s Flames Are A Blazing Fire, The Flame of Jah.”

“Love’s Flames Are A Blazing Fire,
The Flame of Jah.”

"Look! You are beautiful,
my beloved.

Look! You are beautiful.

Your eyes are those of doves.”

Do not these lips speak of love?

Yet, the King's lair
is filled of soft tresses
of golden, black, brown, red
aging or youthful strands
of cultures fair.

*

Is it of love in which he speaks
when he knows not of me?

Still he seeks
to have; to hold
as if my love is bought
then sold.

May I be so bold
as to say
my shepherd boy,
for whom I pray

with him my heart
expands and pounds
with each his step
on pastured grounds.

I am his
for now and always.

Please do not make me utter words,
Your Kingship,
though your gold can build a castle strong.

If I lie to you of feelings deep,
my soul will drip
in sorrow drown.

Tis not love I feel for you,
nor you for me.

You know not how my spirit sleeps
upon the breast of my dear one true.

You know not why his kiss I dream
laying silent near silvery streams.

My shepherd boy, I've come to know
through trails and paths as I did grow
a sun-kissed tan upon my skin.

My brothers warning:
"Do be a wall,"
protected us from lustful falls
beneath the vineyards lovely limbs.

Tis not of love you wish for me;
for if so it is
or ever was

Please set me free.

Signed:

"Your
Eyes of Doves,"

For my Shepherd Boy
lives to hold my heart
as His treasured key.

This is an example of attraction; infatuation and love.

Song of Solomon 1:15; 8:6

The Song of Solomon beautifully describes the love that a man and woman can have for each other. The song is about the love between a country girl from the village of Shunem, or Shulem, and a young shepherd. This is their story: The girl was working in her brothers’ vineyards close to where King Solomon and his soldiers were camped. He noticed the girl and ordered his servants to bring her into the camp. Then he told her how beautiful she was and offered her many gifts. But the girl was in love with a shepherd and insisted that she wanted to be with him. (Song of Solomon 1:4-14) The shepherd looked for her and went into the camp. When he found her, they expressed their love for each other with beautiful words.—Song of Solomon 1:15–17.

5 When Solomon returned to Jerusalem, he took the young woman with him, and the shepherd followed her. (Song of Solomon 4:1-5, 8, 9) Nothing that Solomon said or did could change the girl’s love for the shepherd. (Song of Solomon 6:4-7; 7:1-10) So Solomon let the girl go back home. Finally, the Shulammite called to her dear one to come running to her “like a gazelle.”—Song of Solomon 8:14.

No Doubt

by Seah Greenhorn

(Poem with copyright)

No doubt
about it:

Faith
is not
pocketed

by everyone.

This belief
in a person
or their word

over history,

Not blind

adrift
on vessels
built absurd.

Constructed
with materials
proven
strong;

sailed on crashing waves
of rocky storms
over time.

Watching the outcomes
of those in the helm;

checking
survival records--
previous
to their realms.

This feeling
engendered
towards faithful captains
at sea

Imagine how secure
our future to be:

No famines; no more wars;
no more dying,
by any degrees.

All people truly free!

Take a look at nature
already...totally
amazing miracles
in creativity!

If only
we pause/stop
daily to feed
our confidence
in our Creator

Of all Humanity

and His Son
now reigning.

What future blessings
through his written promises
heaven and earth
will soon

really
see!

I Am Not A Doubter

We have a choice whether to doubt or not. But as a believer, we do not have to doubt God's wonders.

Tell me what make you strong in the face of challenges and not being a doubter. Based upon: “Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld.” (Heb 11:1) “Assured expectation” translates the Greek word hy·poʹsta·sis. This term is common in ancient papyrus business documents. It conveys the idea of something that underlies visible conditions and guarantees a future possession. In view of this, Moulton and Milligan suggest the rendering: “Faith is the title deed of things hoped for.” (Vocabulary of the Greek Testament, 1963, p. 660) The Greek word eʹleg·khos, rendered “evident demonstration,” conveys the idea of bringing forth evidence that demonstrates something, particularly something contrary to what appears to be the case. Thereby this evidence makes clear what has not been discerned before {and} so refutes what has only appeared to be the case. “The evident demonstration,” or evidence for conviction, is so positive or powerful that faith is said to be it. Faith is, therefore, the basis for hope and the evidence for conviction concerning unseen realities. The entire body of truths delivered by Jesus Christ and his inspired disciples constitutes the true Christian “faith.” (Joh 18:37; Ga 1:7-9; Ac 6:7; 1Ti 5:8) Christian faith is based on the complete Word of God, including the Hebrew Scriptures, to which Jesus and the writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures frequently referred in support of their statements. Faith is based on concrete evidence. The visible creative works testify to the existence of an invisible Creator. (Ro 1:20) The actual occurrences taking place during the ministry and earthly life of Jesus Christ identify him as the Son of God. (Mt 27:54; see JESUS CHRIST.) God’s record of providing for his earthly creatures serves as a valid basis for believing that he will surely provide for his servants, and his record as a Giver and Restorer of life lends ample evidence to the credibility of the resurrection hope. (Mt 6:26, 30, 33; Ac 17:31; 1Co 15:3-8, 20, 21) Furthermore, the reliability of God’s Word and the accurate fulfillment of its prophecies instill confidence in the realization of all of His promises. (Jos 23:14) Thus, in these many ways, “faith follows the thing heard.”—Ro 10:17; compare Joh 4:7-30, 39-42; Ac 14:8-10. So faith is not credulity. The person who may ridicule faith usually has faith himself in tried and trusted friends. The scientist has faith in the principles of his branch of science. He bases new experiments on past discoveries and looks for new discoveries on the basis of those things already established as true. Likewise, the farmer prepares his soil and sows the seed, expecting, as in previous years, that the seed will sprout and that the plants will grow as they receive the needed moisture and sunshine. Therefore faith in the stability of the natural laws governing the universe actually constitutes a foundation for man’s plans and activities. Such stability is alluded to by the wise writer of Ecclesiastes: “The sun also has flashed forth, and the sun has set, and it is coming panting to its place where it is going to flash forth. The wind is going to the south, and it is circling around to the north. Round and round it is continually circling, and right back to its circlings the wind is returning. All the winter torrents are going forth to the sea, yet the sea itself is not full. To the place where the winter torrents are going forth, there they are returning so as to go forth.”—Ec 1:5-7.
