This clip is from the #RNMoriginal video Bible study series, “Perfect Love” featuring Lisa Harper.
Pursuing Intimacy with Christ through the Song of Solomon
We all want to be known and loved. Though we can experience deep relationships with others, there will always be a hole in our hearts for the perfect love of Christ. But, what does that really mean? How do we pursue intimacy with an invisible God? What if we do not feel worthy of His love? How can we respond when troubles kidnap our security in Christ?
In six powerful sessions, author and Bible teacher Lisa Harper walks women through the Song of Solomon to answer those questions and more. Though romance and marital love are typically associated with this book, Lisa takes a Christ-centered approach to illustrate how this ancient love story is relevant to your life and relationship with Jesus today. As she brings clarity to the text and as you watch real-life stories from other women, you will learn how to embrace God’s perfect love and realize your own beauty and worth in God’s eyes.

how do we grow
by strength or resolve
can we make it so
can we shape the course of our lives
according to our purpose and designs
or add a single hour to the measure of our time
how can we ever venture into what is unknown
when we are incapable of the smallest change on our own
looking back over the span of our lives
we can see the marks that testify
to how far we’ve come
how much we’ve grown
how much of his grace we have been shown
the marks of maturity on our lives
the evidence of the work of Christ
the seed that he has planted on our heart
the lord has also watered and will refine every part
it is his intention to give it growth
until it comes to fruition
he has sealed it with his oath
that he who began this good work in you
will see it through
in this lies our hope
not in what we do
but we do not grow alone
our roots are intertwined
one with another
so that your strength is mine
while we wait in expectation
no growth can be seen
the tender shoots that so quickly spring up
must grow strong
less they remain frail and green
would we be overwhelmed by perils in store
that his timing seeks to prepare us for
let us endure our trials with patience
for it’s in his goodness that we trust
and hold fast to our commitment
resting in his faithfulness to us
his goal is for our good
on this our assurance falls
that he who began this good work
will surely make it grow tall
