"Draw me after you; let us run...Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you pasture your flock, where you make it lie down at noon; for why should I be like one who veils herself beside the flocks of your companions?" Song of Solomon 1:4,7
The bride is searching for her lover, the king. She desires to be united with him, to find security in his presence. She doesn't want to be thought of as a stranger; union and communion with him is what she desires.
Not only is this book of Songs a beautiful picture of marriage, but it's also a wonderful picture of our union with Christ! When we as believers understand our unity with our Lord and Savior, our King, we find security. We belong in His presence, and we must never flee from His love.
