C.J. Mahaney, a
pastor and teacher, wrote a wonderful thought about intimacy in his little
book, Sex, Romance and the Glory of God.
His line was simply this:
“Before you touch her body, touch her heart
and mind.”
As we continue in this series
on the Song of Songs, what a great sentiment about our marriages—we should care
about others, not use them. We should
place others first, not second to ourselves.
So whether it is your spouse, a friend, a relative, another member of
the Body of Christ, or an acquaintance, the principle is the same: to be
Christ-like is to be considerate.
Or as
Paul puts it, “in humility, value others above yourselves, not looking to your
own interests, but each of you to the interests of the others” (Philippians
2:3-4).
