Bible Passages/Key Points:

“UNDERAPPRECIATION”

We have tendency to treat CASUALLY what should be CHERISHED

Song of Songs 5…

Friends

⁹ How is your beloved better than others, most beautiful of women? How is your beloved better than others, that you so charge us?

She

¹⁰ My beloved is radiant and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand. ¹¹ His head is purest gold; his hair is wavy and black as a raven. ¹² His eyes are like doves by the water streams, washed in milk, mounted like jewels. ¹³ His cheeks are like beds of spice yielding perfume. His lips are like lilies dripping with myrrh. ¹⁴ His arms are rods of gold set with topaz. His body is like polished ivory decorated with lapis lazuli. ¹⁵ His legs are pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as its cedars. ¹⁶ His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.

Song of Songs 6…

He

⁴ You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling, as lovely as Jerusalem, as majestic as troops with banners. ⁵ Turn your eyes from me; they overwhelm me. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from Gilead. ⁶ Your teeth are like a flock of sheep coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin, not one of them is missing. ⁷ Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate. ⁸ Sixty queens there may be,
and eighty concubines, and virgins beyond number; ⁹ but my dove, my perfect one, is unique, the only daughter of her mother, the favorite of the one who bore her. The young women saw her and called her blessed; the queens and concubines praised her.
