From the Amplified Bible:  Vividly she pictured it; The voice of my beloved Shepherd ~~ "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away."

AGL writes:  There are times when God just wants us all to Himself.
Hosea 2:14 I will allure her and bring her into the wilderness and I will speak tenderly and to her heart.

Come away to the wilderness.........  yes, I definitely feel as if I am IN the wilderness.  I feel alone, deserted by family and some friends, finances are gone and in 10 days I will no longer have my Internet, then my cell will be gone and soon Steve will learn I have not paid my condo assoc fees.  THAT is what I fear the most.  Steve learning out about my mess.    Such a desert and I can find myself in my special place with my Shepherd with green pasture and cool waters.  We can talk anytime we choose and I am safe.  I have no want of anything but feeling him near me.   In me.  Holding me and I lean in.

On the one hand, we should not rush or strive to manipulate love. It will grow naturally as the Lord gives it life. In due season, the right young man or woman will come along. On the other hand, when love begins to grow, the Lord has given us the covenant of marriage to freely stir up and awaken love for our mutual pleasure.

Hope
There are times I want and need you all to Myself.
We will get through this together.
