"My Beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. Until the day break, and the shadows flee away,
turn, my Beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether."
Song of Solomon 2:16-17
Surely if there be a happy verse in the Bible it is this--"My Beloved is mine, and I am his."
So peaceful, so full of assurance, so overrunning with happiness and contentment is it, that it might well have been written by the same hand which penned the twenty-third Psalm.
Yet though the prospect is exceeding fair and lovely--earth cannot show its superior--it is not entirely a sunlit landscape.
There is a cloud in the sky which casts a shadow over the scene.
Listen, "Until the day break, and the shadows flee away."
There is a word, too, about the "mountains of Bether," or,
"the mountains of division," and to our love, anything like division is bitterness.
Beloved, this may be your present state of mind; you do not doubt your salvation; you know that Christ is yours, but you are not feasting with him.
You understand your vital interest in him, so that you have no shadow of a doubt of your being his, and of his being yours,
but still his left hand is not under your head, nor doth his right hand embrace you.
A shade of sadness is cast over your heart, perhaps by affliction, certainly by the temporary absence of your Lord,
so even while exclaiming, "I am his," you are forced to take to your knees, and to pray,
"Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my Beloved."
"Where is he?" asks the soul. And the answer comes, "He feedeth among the lilies."
If we would find Christ, we must get into communion with his people, we must come to the ordinances with his saints.
Oh, for an evening glimpse of him! Oh, to sup with him tonight!

If you are NOT a believer in Jesus Christ,
you can be accepted into his kingdom.
I invite you to let him to make of you,
what He always wanted.
"PRAYER"
Marvelous God Almighty,
I come to you in the precious name of Jesus,
who died for me to make me free of sin,
I want Jesus to enter into my heart and make me free,
I confess that He is the son of God.
I ask to change my heart and to give me wisdom to understand
you can be accepted into his kingdom.
I invite you to let him to make of you,
what He always wanted.

but to be expectant of my life in heaven.
In the precious name of Jesus I ask.
Amen..

that the true value of a sermon must lie,
not in its fashion and manner,
but in the truth which it contains.
