In the Song of Solomon, the bride says of the bridegroom, "My Beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi." Why the henna blossoms of En Gedi? Why not the henna blossoms of Galilee? Why not just henna blossoms? Why does it matter where they come from? En Gedi is in the barren, rocky, dry, hot, and forbidding wilderness of Judea. There's virtually no life. But in the middle of this desert flow waters - the springs of En Gedi. And around the waters, bloom's life and henna blossoms. That's why the love of the Bridegroom to the Bride and of God to you is like henna blossoms from En Gedi. You will find even in the driest places of your life that God's love still flows like waters in the desert with blooming flowers. You'll never know God's love as sweet as when you find it in a secret place and away from everything else. Getaway today as David did. Getaway from all the distractions, problems, and temptations. Get refreshed by the pure love of God in the secret place.
From Message #1022 - My Beloved Is An Apple Tree
Seek today to find the henna blossoms of En Gedi - in places where you've never seen God's blessings or presence. Go looking for His blessings and finding His presence.
Scripture: Song of Solomon 1:14
