The Walled Garden

A garden locked is my sister, my bride,

a spring locked, a fountain sealed.

Song of Songs, Ch. 4, vs. 12

Most of you are familiar with Song of Songs chapter 4, where Solomon extols the beauty and virtues of his Bride at great length. But hidden in there somewhere is a single line about how her heart is locked up, only opening up to someone by the Grace of God.

And somehow unbeknownst to me, it had previously turned into a pastel drawing. Funny how God works sometimes, isn’t it?
