Altogether Lovely
He is altogether lovely.
Song of Solomon 5:16
Not just lovely “all together,” but in every detail. He bears scrutiny. All that is found in the Lord Jesus is lovely to God and lovely to His people. A botanist, through his microscope, once showed to the humble shepherd something of the detailed beauty of the heather bell. Overcome by its amazing intricacy, perfection and beauty, the shepherd wept and was heard to say, “Just to think, I trampled it.” May we always elevate Him through our words and deeds! --J. Strahan
Purer than any dewdrop, whiter than driven snow,
Fresh from the clouds of heaven, carried by winds that blow,
In Him no trace of defilement, perfect in all His ways,
Sinless and spotless and holy through all His earthly days.
--Lyttle
