Gathering Lilies

Jane Denniston August 03, 2012 0 0

Song of Solomon 6:2-3

​My beloved has gone down to his garden,

to the beds of spices,

to pasture his flock in the gardens,

and to gather lilies. 

I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine;

 

he pastures his flock among the lilies.

​Lord, you tend your garden

With care and loving-kindness.

You care for your flock

With infinite patience.

Your flock is pastured, not among weeds

Nor grass and hay

But among lilies

And in beds of spices.

What riches you bestow upon your flock.

What riches you bestow upon me.

Help me to be equally generous in my relationships.

To give care and attention to all whom I am called to love.

To love passionately,

To serve sincerely,

To give unconditionally

Just as I have received from you.
