¹ How graceful are your feet in sandals O queenly maiden! Your rounded thighs are like Jewels, the work of a master hand.
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 7 verse 1)
Oh God, You have created us on Your image, that is so beautiful. Each human being reflects Your beauty, my God and Father. I pray that we remain beautiful both in heart mind and spirit Amen.
² Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine. Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies.
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 7 verse 2)
Oh God, my Father, nothing nonpure finds it's rooted in You. You are the purest wine ever and no evil can ever come from You Amen.
³ Your two breasts are like two fawns twins of a gazelle.

Oh God, my Father how nice are those people who are fully alive, both spiritually, physically, socially and even psychologically, They are full of positive energy and ready to obey Your will and be of service to others Amen.
⁴ Your neck is like an ivory tower Your eyes are pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bath-rabbim. Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon overlooking Damascus.
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 7 verse 4)
Oh God, my Father You are simply beautiful there is none like You Amen. Your beauty is reflected in nature itself the creation of Your hand Amen.
⁵ Your head crowns you like Carmel and your flowing locks are like purple; a king is held captive in the tresses.

Oh God my Father when meditating on this chapter my wish to see You in person continues to increase. I crave for the moment again to see You in person so that I can again be aware of Your beauty care and love for me and the world Amen.
⁶ How fair and pleasant you are, O loved one, delectable maiden!
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 7 verse 6)
Oh God my Father as much as the bride finds pleasure in the groom much more or as much does the groom finds pleasure in the bride. We are the bride and You are the Groom my God and Father with whom we aim and desire to seek a long-lasting relationship that cannot be terminated Amen!
⁷ You are stately as a palm tree and your breasts are like its clusters.
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 7 verse 7)
Oh God, my Father, I thank You for praising our positive traits and not simply focussing on those areas where we sin and miss out by making bad or negative decisions Amen.
⁸ I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its branches. O may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of your breath like apples, ⁹ and your kisses like the best wine that goes gown smoothly gliding over lips and teeth.
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 7 verses 8 to 9)
Oh God, my Father, if there is something that I miss from my previous life are love and kisses and hugs. However today You are teaching me how to live and cope without such acts Amen.
¹⁰ I am my beloved's and his desire is for me. ¹¹ Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields and lodge in the villages; ¹² let us go out early to the vineyards, and see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love, ¹³ The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and over our doors are all choice fruits, new as well as old, which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
(The Song of Solomon Chapter 7 verses 10 to 13)
Oh God, my Father may Your Holy Spirit fall on me, may we become one in spirit and love and may I experience Your love in abundance. May my life become mingled with Yours and we become one mind and spirit. I offer You my past old fruits and my present fruit the abundance of Your divine providence, that You continue to bless it and make it prosper Amen.
Oh God, my Father, I would like to end this seventh chapter of the Book of the Song of Solomon with the following reflection:-
Oh, brothers and sisters, God loves us like nobody on earth. He is all the time waiting to start a relationship of love with us. God is jealous when other people or situations take his place for He is the number one in our lives. God is the one who on our account became human in order to redeem us from our sins. There is no greater love than this. Amen.
