Song of Solomon 8:7: 'Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised.'
Song of Solomon is the Bible's poetry of married love. And here it makes a stunning claim about love's strength.
'Many waters cannot quench love.' Real love doesn't get extinguished by the floods that come — hardship, loss, betrayal, time.
'If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised.' Love isn't a transaction. It can't be bought. It's given.
This is true of marriage at its best. It's also true of God's love for you. Many waters have come. They haven't quenched a thing.
