April 17, Evening
Draw me, we will run after thee.
[Song.1:4]
I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. ■ I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love. ■ I, if I be lifted up from the eaith, will draw all men unto me. ■ Behold the Lamb of God. ■ As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
[Jer.31:3 | Hos.11:4 | John.12:32 | John.1:36 | John.3:14,15]
Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. ■ We love him, because he first loved us.
[Psa.73:25 | I John.4:19]
My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; the fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
[Song.2:10-13]
