I don't have to rush love. The right time is worth waiting for.

A Bible affirmation for waiting on love, rooted in Song of Solomon 2:7.

O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you by the gazelles and does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.

Song of Solomon 2:7 · BSB

Reflection

The bride in the Song repeats this charge three times: do not awaken love until the time is right. Even inside a love poem, Scripture honors timing. Waiting isn't wasted. It protects something precious.

A prayer

Lord, help me wait well. Protect my heart from rushing what You want to grow in its time.
