The scripture for today, May 6 (5/6), is Song of Solomon 5:6 as found in the Old Testament of the Bible:
“I opened [the door] for my lover, but my lover had left; he was gone. My heart sank at his departure. I looked for him but did not find him. I called him, but he did not answer.”
Jesus is the lover of your soul. He hears you knock, so opens the door for you. But you are now sidetracked. Perhaps you’re now spending all your time thinking about material things. His heart sinks when you run away from him. Oh, how his heart aches with loneliness for you.
So, Jesus goes out looking for you. He looks everywhere you go. He calls you by name. But perhaps your life is so full of the noise of doing and going and accomplishing, that you do not hear him.
Stop! Allow some quietness into your life. Then listen. Shhh. Do you hear? Jesus is calling for you.

THEY MET JESUS: FOLK HERE. Crowds grew from hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands. People from nearby nations heard of his fame and came to look for him. Some were loyal. Some were fickle. Religious leaders cornered him, theologians stalked him, The wealthy helped him. For commoners, he conquered demons, controlled nature, created food, And destroyed death. Hometown friends tried to kill him, While cousin John gained a glory home. To BUY NOW, click a book cover or paste this: https://bit.ly/2U4kZ7L
I praise and adore you, God. You are the delight and the lover of my soul. You even gave the sense of love to the animals, both large and small. I watch mother and father animals protect their young, and teach them, and let them lie down sometimes beside them and sometimes on them. All the good things you gave me in nature teach me lessons about my Maker. Some things you made delight my sight. Some delight my sense of touch. Some are aromatic and fragrant. I think all must be a part of heaven. I think the delights you have given on earth are a shadow of what you have waiting for me in your world.

Ah, my Lord, you are my light for the path I walk. You are my path through the world I travel. Your holiness soars through the cosmos and settles at last in my heart. I can never feel alone when you are near. I can never feel rejected when you carry me. I can never feel deserted when you hold my heart in your arms and sing to me with your spirit.
