“The king has brought me into his chambers.
We will rejoice in you and be glad;
We will extol your love more than wine.
Rightly do they love you.”
– Song of Songs 1:4
Whatever we love is our king. If movies ravish our heart, then movies are our king. If novels ravish our heart, then we are giving novels the right to rule over us.
However, if the Lord has ravished our heart, then spontaneously He is our King. As the hymn says, the change of authority from everything else to Christ comes from
Not a sense of right or duty,
But the sight of peerless worth.
Adapted from The Song of Songs: A Divine Romance,
