It Starts Small

This seven-day study delves into one of the most profound and tender movements in the Song of Solomon—the exhilarating testing of love through silence, delay, and surrender. When the bride hesitates, responding too slowly to her Beloved’s call, she opens the door only to find Him gone, igniting a fervent quest filled with vulnerability, sorrow, and the passionate refinement of her desires. This study beckons you to reflect on the essence of loving Christ amid divine silence and absence. You’ll explore the transformative journey of love, which matures not solely through passion and presence, but also through yearning, obedience, and the courage of costly trust. As you accompany the bride through her heart-wrenching experiences of rejection, pursuit, and eventual reunion, you will witness how God employs testing to deepen intimacy and prepare your heart for a sacred communion. Each day’s discovery will reveal how surrender fosters growth, how delayed answers awaken profound hunger, and how even the wounds of love can transform into sacred spaces of awe and renewal.
