This is probably the most touching of all books in the Bible to woman. it speaks of a Beloved and her Lover, of their adoration to one another, and is home to one of the most touching verses I have ever heard: "All beautiful you are, my darling; there is no flaw within you." Song of Songs 4:7 But in real life, when I think about it, aren't we all the Beloved, and Christ our Lover? Or is it wrong of me to think that while I read the Song of Songs?

I would be careful in seeing the words "there is no flaw within you" as words directly from God. That would seem to say that we are perfect, and we are most certainly not anywhere close to being perfect. On the other hand, I believe God made each person to be exactly who they are, and girls especially need to realize that. God loves us all for who we are. We don't have to be skinny or wear tons of makeup or have a boyfriend for God to think we're beautiful. He made you. He thinks each woman is the most beautiful thing on earth in their own unique way. :) Good verse!

ya, that's what i meant. it means we don't have to try and be pretty. and that means the world to me.
