Welcome to "Under the Apple Tree"
As an apple tree among the trees of the forest,
so is my beloved among the young men.
With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
so is my beloved among the young men.
With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
-Song of Solomon 2:3
I am so glad that you have dropped by my blog for a visit!!! This blog is the result of a burden God has laid on my heart for my sisters in Christ. The title "Under the Apple Tree" comes from the verse you see above. In this verse, a young maiden is speaking about her "beloved", she is telling how she delights to spend time with him.
The book of Song of Solomon is a series of love letters between a young man, (who also happens to be the king), and the young shepherd girl that he loves. It is also, a beautiful picture of the love Christ has for His church. As I have grown in my walk with my Prince, reading this book has revealed to me the depth of His love for me, and has shown me how I should feel for Him. The verse above, is one of my favorites. It causes me to step back and take a look at my own heart and affections. Can I echo the sentiments of this young shepherdess, and declare that I delight in the Lord, and that His fruit is sweet to my taste? Can you?
It is my desire that this blog be a place where we can be encouraged to delight in the shadow of our heavenly Prince, and truly thrive on the fruit of His Word. So, pull up a chair, pour some lemonade, and join me as we learn to love God more.
