“Many waters cannot quench love, Nor can the floods drown it . . .” (Song of Solomon 8:7, NKJV)
The book of Song of Solomon or Song of Songs is a wonderful poem expressing the love that a man and a woman have for each other. This love that they share for one another is symbolic of God’s love for us.
When, in my studies, I came across this verse I was mesmerized. Listen to how Solomon describes the power of love, “Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it.” Solomon has likened love to an unquenchable fire, which cannot be doused by water or swept away by a flood. This is powerful. Solomon is telling us that true love is not dependent upon what a person does or does not do for you. True love is simply given without condition. You need to know this is the love God has for you. In spite of what you do or do not do, God’s love for you cannot be quenched and the flood, even the flood of your sins, cannot drown it out or sweep it away. God simply loves you. Let us accept what God willingly gives, His love. It is unconditional and without boundaries. Know for certain that no matter who you are, or what you do or have done, the love that God has for you, is an UNQUENCHABLE LOVE.
