Song 7:11 | MHM | STEP | v. 11-12 : The believer longs for closer fellowship with Christ, saying, Come, my beloved (Song of Solomon 7:11-12 ). She wants to walk and talk with Him, to receive guidance, comfort, and to share her needs. After feeling Christ’s love, the believer wants to know Him more, like Paul, who wanted to gain the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:8 ). True Christians always desire deeper communion with Christ. Earthly pleasures may grow boring, but spiritual joys make us want more of God. The believer seeks quiet time with Christ, away from distractions, because solitude helps us focus on God (1 Corinthians 7:35 ). She is willing to leave comfort, even staying in simple cottages, if she can be with Christ, because His presence makes any place special. The believer also wants to start early, not missing any chance to be with Christ, like the women who came very early to Jesus’ tomb (Mark 16:2 ). No earthly delight can satisfy without Christ.
