1. The season of singing (2:8-13)

Spring is a beautiful time. The winter is past and flowers appear. It is the time for love to blossom anew. The love relationship is like a vineyard coming to life after a long winter, like the fig tree which bears early fruit. Love awakened in the heart is like springtime after a long winter. When Jesus comes into a cold, dead heart, the season of singing comes. All human love relationships must be rooted in Jesus to give unclouded joy.

2. The little foxes (2:14-15)

When the vineyards are in bloom they are vulnerable. Little foxes running and playing there ruin the vineyard. A blossoming love relationship is also vulnerable. The little foxes of sin can ruin it.

3. He is mine and I am his (2:16:3:5)

Mutual commitment is essential in a love relationship. Jesus laid down his life in commitment to me. Am I so committed to him?

Application: Lord, restore to me the joy of the springtime of love.
One Word: Get rid of the little foxes
