While camping at South Lake Tahoe, I was overwhelmed by the joy of knowing the love of my husband’s heart. We had time to hike and see breathtaking views of the lake, swim and relax on secluded white sand beaches and dream about retirement adventures ahead. In our spiritual walk, we also have the opportunity to spend time in relationship with the lover of our soul. Jesus Christ is the one who displays His love as a banner over our lives. When we see the fallen side of our nature it may terrify us. Transparent honesty nurtures the truth that He is working through our brokeness. – Teresa #claypots

Song of Solomon 2:3-4 (ESV)

3 As an apple tree among the trees of the forest,

    so is my beloved among the young men.

With great delight I sat in his shadow,

    and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

4 He brought me to the banqueting house,[d]

    and his banner over me was love.
