Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And sometimes we can get lost in the flowery imagery of the Song of Solomon; mostly, because it reads more like a marriage manual. But every follower of Jesus can identify with Songs 3:1. It describes the heartbreaking moment when you realize you have lost the company of Christ. It says, “All night long on my bed I looked for the one my heart loves; I looked for him but did not find him.” Oh friend, sadly, that happens. And nothing feels more frightening to the Christian. But take heart; Christ can and will be found. And you will find him wherever it is you lost fellowship with him. Was it in sinning that you lost him? Then you’ll find him by giving up that sin. Did you lose Christ by neglecting the Word? Then you will find him when you delve back into the Scriptures. It’s hard work to go back and look for Christ. But if you seek him, he will be found.
