Song of Solomon 2:5

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Song of Solomon 2:5. Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.

The love of Christ shed abroad in our heart sometimes quite overpowers us. It is very possible to be so delighted, so full of joy with a sense of the love of Jesus, that one feels unable to bear any more of it. Oh, for more of this blessed sickness! "It is a strange thing," says one, "this love of Christ," -

"For, oh! when whole, it makes me sick,

When sick, it makes me whole."
