Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. (Song of Songs 2:7 & 3:5)
Romantic love, erotic love, is powerful. One of the lovers speaking in the Song of Songs gives a warning to the young women in Jerusalem concerning the passion of such love.
How might that warning apply to those who read Song of Songs today? How may it apply to me?
