The late John Prine… Guy Clark once said that the essence of a great song is to convey as much information in as few of words as possible. Few people can do that better than John Prine and few songs do it better than this one:

Crazy as a Loon – John Prine

Back before I was a movie star
Straight off of the farm
I had a picture of another man's wife
Tattooed on my arm

With a pack of Camel cigarettes
In the sleeve of my Tee shirt
I'm headin' out to Hollywood
Just to have my feelings hurt

Love Locks

Bible in a Year:

• Songs of Songs 6–8
• Galatians 4

Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm.

Song of Songs 8:6

I stood amazed at the hundreds of thousands of padlocks, many engraved with the initials of sweethearts, attached to every imaginable part of the Pont des Arts bridge in Paris. The pedestrian bridge across the Seine River was inundated with these symbols of love, a couple’s declaration of “forever” commitment. In 2014, the love locks were estimated to weigh a staggering fifty tons and had even caused a portion of the bridge to collapse, necessitating the locks’ removal.

The presence of so many love locks points to the deep longing we have as human beings for assurance that love is secure. In Song of Songs, an Old Testament book that depicts a dialogue between two lovers, the woman expresses her desire for secure love by asking her beloved to “place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm” (Song of Songs 8:6). Her longing was to be as safe and secure in his love as a seal impressed on his heart or a ring on his finger.

The longing for enduring romantic love expressed in Song of Songs points us to the New Testament truth in Ephesians that we are marked with the “seal” of God’s Spirit (1:13). While human love can be fickle, and locks can be removed from a bridge, Christ’s Spirit living in us is a permanent seal demonstrating God’s never-ending, committed love for each of His children.

By:  Lisa M. Samra Reflect & Pray

How have you experienced the secure love of your heavenly Father? How might you allow His love to guide and encourage you today?

Heavenly Father, thank You that even though the security of human love often remains elusive, Your love for me is strong, steadfast, and eternal.
