Captivating

I never knew I had a favorite word until this weekend at Women's Overnight. 

It was during quiet time, and they had us read in Song of Songs, where the man was talking about how she captivated his heart "with one glance of his eyes". 

I loved this.

This is how captivating is defined:

-verb (used with object), -vat·ed, -vat·ing.

1.

to attract and hold the attention or interest of, as bybeauty or excellence; enchant: Her blue eyes and red haircaptivated him.

2.

Obsolete . to capture; subjugate.

In Song of Songs 4:9-10, "He" is complimenting her beauty, telling her how her love is "better than wine." 

I couldn't help but think about how as girls, we long for this kind of compliments and affirmation from guys. Who are flawed, and will let us down...no matter how amazing they are. 

Yet while we long for this love from guys, the Lord loves us more than that. Guys are flawed in their life and love, however, the Lord's love is perfect. 

Why do us girls find it so hard to rest in that?
