Quiet, I’m whispering now. I have to tell you… you’ve not really kissed until you’ve experienced a kiss from God.

Kiss and Tell
Many find it odd that Song of Solomon was canonized as holy scripture. At first, second or third read we might ask why was it included? It tells of what one might consider private, intimate encounters between King Solomon and the Shulamite woman, his soon to be bride.
Since all Scripture was inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16), the Song of Solomon moves from a simple expression of love between a man and a woman to an allegory of the love between Christ and His bride, the Church.
