Um(Imi)bhalo weBhayibheli

IsiHlabelelo seziHlabelelo 2

10Othandiweyo wami wakhuluma, wathi kimi:

“Vuka, sithandwa sami,

muhlekazi wami; woza sihambe,

11ngokuba bheka, ubusika budlulile;

imvula isiphelile, yamuka;

12izimbali ziyabonakala emhlabeni,

nesikhathi sokuthena imivini sesisondele,

nezwi lehobhe liyezwakala ezweni lakithi.

13Umkhiwane uthela amakhiwane awo aluhlaza,

imivini inezimbali,

ithaphuka iphunga layo;

vuka, sithandwa sami,

muhlekazi wami; woza sihambe.”

IsiHlabelelo seziHlabelelo 2:10-13ZUL59NOVula kumfundi weBhayibheli

When Solomon invites us into the picture of a beautiful woman and a swooning lover saying: Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me, we can imagine the delight that is there: winter is past and all is prepared for the new life to come. We look on with joy in our hearts; happy for the two who have discovered God’s gift.

Take a moment now to think of the delight God also has in us. We are God’s beloved. Could we imagine God saying: ‘Arise my darling, my beautiful one, come with me’? Can you imagine the spring in your step you will have when you remember God’s love for you.
