Song of Solomon 1:7
 
   TO HER BELOVED
     Tell me, O you whom I love, where you feed your flock, where you make it rest at             noon. For why should I be as one who veils herself by the flocks of your companions?
 
What a perfect picture of the reluctant Christian! How often do we get into groups for relaxation and veil ourselves so no one sees the real person, the beloved of Jesus Christ and God His Father? We turn to Jesus and ask where we can go. Where does He have relaxation with His flocks so we can go there and not hide ourselves?
 
But that’s not what He wants for us. Tomorrow you’ll see what He does want. Until He answers that question we are in a quandary. We know we’re supposed to witness and tell everybody about Him, but even in our best intentions we put a veil over our Christianity.
 
Yet we love Him. We want to share Him with His companions, those He loves, and we don’t. What a terrible dilemma!
